Remove Google Analytics from Confluence

[Karsten Hilgers]

I just installed Confluence 5.4.4 on our server and to my surprise Google Analytics is tracking our locally installed Confluence.

How can I completely remove the Google Analytics tracking because of security and privacy reasons?

Hi Boris

What code is it inserting?

One way to prevent tracking is to add some code that tells Google not to track.

For example this would stop Atlassian configured trackers provided that they are still using the UA-20272869 property id

<script>
    // Disable any trackers that Atlassian may have added
    for (i=0; i < 50; i++) {
        window['ga-disable-UA-20272869-'+i] = true;
    }
</script>

Hi Boris,

In order to google analytics to track your Confluence instance, you would need to install a third party plugin which is not shipped with Confluence, and you would need to configure it in order to work.

Maybe you're reffering to Google Crawler? If that's the case, and you want to prevent Google from indexing your Confluence website, you can follow this guide.
