To provide website visitors the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics opt out Browser extension for the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js).
If you want to opt out, download and install the extension for your web browser. In order to function, the opt out extension must be able to load and execute properly on your browser. Updates to your browser or operating system may affect the functionality of the opt out extension. More information about managing your extensions for Chrome can be found at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/187443?hl=en_GB.
By installing this extension, you agree to the Chrome Web Store Terms of Service at https://ssl.gstatic.com/chrome/webstore/intl/en/gallery_tos.html and the Google Analytics opt out Browser Add-on Terms of Service at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/intl/en_uk/eula_text.html.

I agree with ALL of the many posts (confused by turninging on/off, motive, financial gain, etc) .... now please state "Why does Google have to use an add-in in order to opt-out of sharing, selling, and providing information to a 3rd party"? At the top of page for the Add-On Opt-Out (by Google) it distinctly says "Google doesn't verify reviews", therefore if Google is not verifying their own reviews, then how does it know to provide better service? Rule of thumb has been, "when you know better, only then can you do better"! This is what makes me suspicious of their intention.
Installing an add-in to opt out of sharing my personal information doesn't feel safe. It feels like the add-in gathers my info then lets sites know they can't have it. So what does the add-in do with what it gathers ...
It works but it's confusing to turn on and off. You don't know when it's working or not
In spite of having installed “Google Opt-out Add-on (by Google)” I just got an Add send by “ www.google-analytics.com/collect??v=..... from Ticketcorner.ch (and I have not bought anything from Ticketcorner=>third-party information collection). This makes me doubt if Google intentions (greenwashing) and live up their moral obligation on Data-collection of private information (European GDPR-law). This is a shortsighted strategy from a “monopoly”: You collect reputation/image in drops but loose it in buckets.
Ideal for web developers who don't want to include their footprint on their projects causing inaccurate data. For all the nay-sayers, this app is not actually for you so quit your whining and just go incognito mode.
Under EU GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, Cookie options are defined under very strict terms and huge fines for non-compliance (100s of Thousands of £/Euros). Some sites use the "Missing NO" explained in long winded policy documents in the hope that the consumer is too uninterested or too lazy to make the effort to follow up and just accept. I also think the level of trust with the "third party" players and most particularly Google in any form is a long distance to stretch credulity, And I believe that companies that do this are not fully trustworthy in their ethical position.
I am confused. If I expect the cookie to allow me to opt-out of Chrome peeking in on what Iam doing why do I have to "add-on" as an extension. It just sounds really sneaky. Please, clarify the necessity to add-on the extension required to "opt-out".
Pour ceux qui se plaignent que ça ne marche pas dans Chrome: c'est faux. Mais encore faut-il que votre OS soit correctement à jour et que Chrome aussi soit à jour. Si ça ne marche toujours pas (erreur d'installation), supprimez l'extension de Chrome et ajoutez-la à nouveau (il est plus que probable que ce soit le cache sur votre PC qui soit corrompu, supprimer l'extension et la réinstaller supprime ses infos dans le cache). Ceci dit, si vous avez un OPS obsolète et plus maintenu (Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1), Chrome n'est plus supporté non plus. Passez à Windows 10 ou 11 (même si votre PC n'est pas "éligible", c'est possible avec l'outil Rufus qui crée une clé d'installation bootable, même pour Windows 11) ou sinon Linux. Et s'il vous faut une nouvelle licence Windows pour l'activer (la migration gratuite par Microsoft des licences Windows 7 activées vers Windows 8/8.1/10/11 est terminée depuis plusieurs années, il fallait activer et migrer ces vieilles licences bien avant), on trouve des licences légales de Windows 10 Pro vendues à quelques centimes sur Cdiscount (soldées par des revendeurs de PC ou grosses entreprises en France, qui ont acheté beaucoup trop de licences à Microsoft et ne les utiliseront jamais), utilisables immédiatement, ou pour le prix d'un café pour recevoir une clé USB d'installation en 1 ou 2 jours. Et on peut payer Cdiscount même sans carte bancaire avec PayPal (où il est facile de collecter rapidement quelques euros) ou un ticket acheté chez un buraliste pour créditer votre compte PayPal. On en trouve aussi sur Amazon mais c'est souvent un peu plus cher. N'achetez pas à l'unité au prix de vente exorbitant sur le site de Microsoft. Bref aucune raison de ne pas mettre à jour à cause du prix. Si vraiment vous ne voulez rien payer, passez à Linux, mais en tout cas n'utilisez plus jamais Windows XP/7/8/8.1 (sauf cas technique spécial dans une machine virtuelle dédiée mais là pas besoin de Chrome: utilisez Chrome à jour dans une machine physique ou virtuelle sous Windows 10/11 à jour ou sous Linux)
But do you really *trust* Google to self-manage this, and truly opt you out of the thing they make their money from? Without an open source check, and requiring your acceptance from a TOS and EULA to install this plugin (which re-grants them consent again) I am deeply suspicious of Google's integrity due to the profit-motive conflict of interest here. They'll word-weasel their way around this with lawyers.
these ads, and the constant bombardment virtually make my laptop unusable. I will have to take my machine to a technician to get them to stop appearing. How very dare they to introduce any of these in the first place. it is so hard to get rid of them that there should be an investigation as to how they are operating, and a mechanism should be put in place to protect us users from falling fowl of this invasion of our privacy, and interference with our businesses, and leisure time. By far and away the worst hacking of my internet experience. I rate a no star experience, but I have to tick one in order to 'post' this review.
