Why on earth would you want to do that given the nature of Google?!

I'll get this done tomorrow.

It's not something I'm personally that enthused by. It's the decision of the group that has responsibility for Transition network webservices of which I'm only a small part. It was based on cost and effectiveness. I do believe that Google Analytics is a more usable and powerful bit of software than piwik. I also think that users installing privacy badger will offer them better protection from spying than hoping that the webmasters of the world are using piwik.

I have enabled the Google Analytics module.

I also checked that no security updates need to be applied before enabling the module.

When I first tried to access the Google Analytics administrator page I got the message: You are not authorized to access this page. So, I adjusted the permissions so that anyone with the administrator role can access this page.
