Private information

Why would the MSE website be wanting to send my private information to Google Analytics? Had a couple of warnings recently that my computer was attempting to send private information and viewing the log reveals Google Analytics with Money saving Expert also in the url!! It has only happened when on MSE website. Checking on Google Analytics it offers to check a client websites statistics of it's users etc.
Not too happy about that what does MSE want to know about me? :mad:

I run a website and I signed it up to Google Analytics, so I can find out how many hits I've been getting.

ALL it gives me is just a really basic overview of how many hits I've had and the approximate geographical location of the visitors (but I don't think this is very accurate). It also shows how many pages they looked at, where they came from (e.g. link from another website, direct hit or link from an email etc) and what page they left the site from.

I can't get any more info than that from it.

It's all declared here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1101222301,49659,

It's nothing to worry about. Nothing personally identifiable is avaliable through Google Analytics.

So why would Google Analytics require one of my PINs? That's the private information being blocked?

The above is where it's being requested from and just leads to a blank page.
