We’re use Google Analytics - out of the box without any major customization. To learn more about Google Analytics read this: https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsTrackingOverview#howAnalyticsGetsData
We use Google Analytics to track data when users install the Macro Chrome Extension, when users visit our website (https://usemacro.github.io/) or when users visit our page on the Chrome store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/macro/pgffhcglkcdpalkgpkkghpofcoibodak)
Our code is open source, you can see how we collect data here: https://github.com/UseMacro/macro-chrome-extension/blob/master/chrome-extension/js/analytics.js
We collect metadata that’s collected by default in Google Analytics, such as device and geolocation information. In addition, we track events including when shortcut data is loaded, which shortcuts are used and when the legend is rendered.
Our code is open source, you can see which events we track by searching for “logEvent” in these files: https://github.com/UseMacro/macro-chrome-extension/blob/master/chrome-extension/plugin/pluginbuilder.ts https://github.com/UseMacro/macro-chrome-extension/blob/master/chrome-extension/js/background.js
Google Analytics strictly prohibits sending Personally Identifiable Information (PII). We don’t read any of your cookies. We don’t know your usage or installs of other Chrome extensions or other competing products.
