<title>Information about &ga;</title>
<para>As of December 12, 2012, &ga; was enabled on the
&os;&nbsp;Project website to collect anonymized usage statistics
regarding usage of the site. The information collected is
valuable to the &os;&nbsp;Documentation Project, in order to
identify various problems on the &os; website.</para>
<sect2 id="google-analytics-policy">
<title>&ga; General Policy</title>
<para>The &os;&nbsp;Project takes visitor privacy very
seriously. As such, the &os;&nbsp;Project website honors the
<quote>Do Not Track</quote> header <emphasis>before</emphasis>
fetching the tracking code from Google. For more information,
please see the <ulink
url="http://www.FreeBSD.org/privacy.html">&os; Privacy
Policy</ulink>.</para>
<para>&ga; access is <emphasis>not</emphasis> arbitrarily
allowed &mdash; access must be requested, voted on by the
&a.doceng;, and explicitly granted.</para>
<para>Requests for &ga; data must include a specific purpose.
For example, a valid reason for requesting access would be
<quote>to see the most frequently used web browsers when
viewing &os; web pages to ensure page rendering speeds are
acceptable.</quote></para>
<para>Conversely, <quote>to see what web browsers are most
frequently used</quote> (without stating
<emphasis>why</emphasis>) would be rejected.</para>
<para>All requests must include the timeframe for which the data
would be required. For example, it must be explicitly stated
if the requested data would be needed for a timeframe covering
a span of 3 weeks, or if the request would be one-time
only.</para>
<para>Any request for &ga; data without a clear, reasonable
reason beneficial to the &os;&nbsp;Project will be
rejected.</para>
