GOOGLE-ANALYTICS STALKER COOKIE
I'm peeved with this dratted "google-analytics.com" holdup on each site I try to access that deploys this stalker (tracking) cookie. The pages "load...load...load" while waiting for the google-launched java scripted "cookie" to complete it's exchange attempt with my browser.
Google should not be involved as third-party intruder to site access traffic. Or if they insist (and they do), then a seamless process needs to be developed (however, the process is what's dubious here -- and google goes beyond gathering site traffic).
For sites that join in this tracking cookie deed -- formally, they're sites on which Google "helps website owners analyze how users use their sites," (to the utter annoyance of many people who attempt site visits) -- the process is irritating to what would otherwise be a unique visit.
Most everyone who administers a website recognizes the usefulness of logging and monitoring site traffic; but the effect the google-analytics tracking activity has on affected sites is that it actually discourages site traffic.
Websites that enable google-analytics discourage traffic and if what they actually seek is to record and monitor site traffic in general, they would be better to stear away from google-analytics; thus, for sites that use google-analytics, I question their motives because they're reaching for increased information as to site traffic per visitor.
Places such as Breitbart, for starters. I'd like to just access Breitbart and just read a frickin' article or view a frickin' video but I have to wait a prolonged while until google-analytics.com concludes it's attempts to do it's deed before the content will load (the site loads, but once specific content is selected, then comes the wait for the google-analytics.com tracking cookie).
And that means, when I have a lot to do, I then discontinue the attempt to visit that (any similar) site because I have other things to do than wait for billionaires to pad their bank accounts and exploit my browsing. Sometimes it's necessary to accomplish a whole lot in perhaps thirty minutes and waiting thirty-to-forty seconds for purposes of indulging a tracking cookie is not tolerable to the detriment of other information that can be done in that time elsewhere.
I dig marketing as much as anyone but the google-analytics stalking-tracking stuff is just too much for my sense of good manners and my patience while their participating sites pause on pause while pausing on pause while the internet waits on pause for google-analytics to run up behind your site visit so as to loiter there.
Google gets a lump of coal for this activity this "Holiday Season" from me.
To everyone else, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
