Don't try and talk sense into the commenters here. Their use case is the only one that matters, and they lack the imagination to think that other people have different budgets, time, or expertise than them.

There are people here who believe Google Analytics is the absolute devil, the reality is much more benign.

OP saying that "I am not a data cow" is just missing the point. GA is logging when you visit the website, some interactions like clicking a link, and generally not much more than that. It is not indexing your hard drive or downloading your photos.

Go somewhere in person and there's probably orders of magnitude more data being collected on your activities.
