First you should look on how [I handle analytics](/Scratch/en/blog/2010-06-17-track-events-with-google-analytics). All analytics are handled in one javascript file, this make things really convenient. Then you need to know my method use the `jquery-cookie`. I check if the key `admin` is not set in the cookie before adding the visit.


    var admin = $.cookie('admin');
    if (! admin) {
        // put your analytics code here
    } else {
        console.log("[WARNING] you're HIDDEN to analytics");
    }

then create two html files. One to hide:





    
        
        
        
        
        Hide to analytics

the other to be visible again (it can be useful):





    
        
        
        
        
        Hide to analytics

Now accessing these files with you browser you can *hide* or *appear* in your statistics. You just have to think to access these file from all you browser.
