Hide Yourself to your Analytics
This is a way not to count your own visits to your blog. First you should look on how I handle analytics. All analytics are handled in one javascript file, this make things really convenient.
Then you need to know my method use the jquery-cookie.
I check if the key admin is not set in the cookie before adding the visit.
var admin = $.cookie('admin');
if (! admin) {
// put your analytics code here
} else {
console.log("[WARNING] you're HIDDEN to analytics");
}then create two
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.cookie.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$.cookie('admin',1);
$('#info').html('Analytics can no more see you.')
});
