## Sophisticated user-tracking now live

I just installed a local tracking and analysis software because I am interested how users interact with this website. Normal webserver logs are not enough.

Only I (and of course theoretically my server provider) have access to the data. IP addresses are anonymised. I do not match the user accounts to the visitor statistics. You can opt-out (this requires you to save cookies). If you feel that this is bad, please tell me so. Either here or in private at spirit % quaddicted . com.

   It is honorable that you mention this here. I usually opt-out of services that create profiles which can be mapped to a certain account or even person (e.g., at Facebook) to offer personalized adds or something like that, but anonymized user statistics and tracking with the purpose of improving a website are perfectly fine with me. Especially for a website like this.

   Thanks for your trust!

   I am an huge opponent of all the data mongering myself so it felt somewhat dirty to do this. So far it is quite interesting and thus worth the “dirt” though.

   It’s not really saying anything, but it’s Quake related.
   Hope they do it.
   And they do it good and proper, not like that horrible Duke game …
