Hi @polymcwingetuploadguy !

Happy to remove Google Analytics, no use for them really (it's actually disabled, just the tag stayed from testing early on).

We'd like to keep Clicky, though; it's just to get an idea of how many people are visiting and which content to focus on. It's very useful in that way. You can read about why Clicky is not "spyware" here: https://clicky.com/help/faq/privacy. (but in short, it has anonymised IP addresses and no tracking cookies)

Can you clarify why a banner for UNICEF donations to Ukrainian children and a closable pop-up with information (attaching a screenshot below) for Russia-based visitors are "propaganda"? (I usually define it as “Propaganda” = deceptive, manipulative, or misleading political messaging, often state-controlled)

the pop-up:

the banner:

Since the author didn't engage in the discussion, I propose we close this. But anyone should feel free to open a PR removing Google Analytics.

Let's wait for one week to see if the author is still interested.
