e.g. mixpanel or KISSMetrics

I'm inclined to say this should be left to whoever deploys this. It may be a hard sale telling people we're allowing them security and anonimity, and then shunting their usage data off to a third party. @ripper234, @dacoinminster, do you have feelings on this?

That's a good point. But there's probably some way to capture info to help improve the site based on real user behavior, it doesn't have to be identifiable. Anyone using a web site these days should have an expectation that something is being recorded.

We will have that conversation with our deployment partners - it's ultimately their call.

Tagging as Medium - we need to implement this before the launch, assuming we can do it without privacy implications.

Let's have that conversation later and see.

GA was implemented to track which pages users used and updated to anonymize per user requests.
