Description
hey there,
i've configured my module to only track anonymous users, but i *swear* it's tracking admins as well. i say this because there is a very noticeable spike in our "traffic" on the days when the other admins and i are actively developing the site. granted, this could be pure coincident, but it seems unlikely: we've seen the phenomenon too many times to believe it's not tracking the admins.
ideas? it's not a *huge* deal, but it is annoying as heck.
thanks!

What radio option do you have selected? If the user is able to decide if he get's tracked or not - this is possible. Than you may have enabled tracking for admin on user/1/edit page. Check it out.

users cannot decide if they are tracked, and i've only checked the box to track anonymous users. It's the setting under Admin: Google Analytics: Role Specific Tracking Settings. The three options are anonymous users, authenticated users, and admins. i've only selected anonymous, but i'm still sure it's tracking admins. thoughts?

This sounds strange and impossible... please uninstall and re-install GA. Than try again with default settings and change step by step and always check out when it changes... this must work.

i'll uninstall and reinstall right now. thanks for your help!
