Add Google Analytics tracking for TSTool usage #257
Comments
I enabled the code. Monitor during development. Close this issue. |
I did not think this one all the way through. A simple I did post an article on Stack Overflow and got a long response pointing out things about privacy. I understand the points made and tried to explain valid reasons for tracking in a comment. I have commented out the tracking for now until more time can be spent on it. The reasons for tracking TSTool use are:
Perhaps what should be done is to get some "Terms of Use" language on the CDSS/OpenCDSS websites or maybe for specific applications to explain how software are used. This goes beyond the software license. If tracking were done, the terms of use could say something like "Data are collected to tracking usage in order to help software developers plan for updates and to help justify government funding of the software. No personal information is collected." |
Hopefully both can be overcome in the future.
Google Analytics 4 is used to track documentation page views. It can also be used to track TSTool usage by doing a GET on a OpenCDSS page. Implement this to evaluate tracking usage.
