Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on (by Google) Extension

To provide website visitors the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics opt-out Browser extension for the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js).

If you want to opt-out, download and install the extension for your web browser. In order to function, the opt-out extension must be able to load and execute properly on your browser. Updates to your browser or operating system may affect the functionality of the opt-out extension. More information about managing your extensions for Chrome can be found at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/187443?hl=en.

Michelle Suffian (ID: 000000eee2d5e9bb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/31/2024 I am confused. If I expect the cookie to allow me to opt-out of Chrome peeking in on what Iam doing why do I have to "add-on" as an extension. It just sounds really sneaky. Please, clarify the necessity to add-on the extension required to "opt-out".
