    No it doesn't. I totally dislike the idea that private companies know about
    me or what I did (e.g. last month for each minute) much more than I do (since I already forgot the
    most).

    Yes, especially for them since they have *all* the data and "hype blinded" users have only a small
    fragment of it to keep them happy.

    There are many good weblog analyzers that don't require to "give away your data", so I don't get why
    are you so keen on selling yourself to Google.

    Ahmed.
    P.S. I suppose next you will proposed to insert google ads all over the Cayenne documentation and
