tracking at moneysaving

barraboy

Hello all.
My tracking software has alerted me to two companies (Google Analytics & Chartbeat) now tracking me on moneysavingexpert. Is this new or have I only just noticed it - don't remember it doing so before. Only asking because I've been a bit nervous ever since Martin sold the site. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid. Someone reassure me please as I've always trusted this site. Thank you.

Amilucky posted re tracking last year so I don't think it is a new thing.

I'll see if I can get the post.

Tracking is not down to MSE but to outside companies,I think ?

Would it be Ok to ask what tracking software you use?

I quite fancy a peek myself :-)

Hi Weeowens,

and p.s. I'm not very good at this stuff but I do notice that there are some sites where there is no tracking ( I presume they block them) and whilst my memory is not so good these days I'm pretty sure Martin's site used to be a nil tracking site.

What Chartbeat says about itself

Know what your audience is doing between the clicks:

• How long they've been actively engaged
• If they’re reading, writing, or idle
• How far they’ve scrolled down your page

You'll know if they're from (hometown)— like you! So you can talk to them like you know them... because now you do.
