Analytics

Status: canonical Audience: engineering, agents Purpose: define privacy-friendly measurement and local event debugging

Provider

The site uses a provider-neutral privacy endpoint model in js/analytics.js. If a Plausible script is added later, the same events are forwarded to window.plausible. Until an endpoint or provider token is configured, events are stored locally for debugging and never leave the browser.

Provider config lives in data/site.config.json under analytics.

Tracked

• page views
• CTA clicks through data-analytics="cta"
• contact clicks
• product outbound/interest clicks
• Shelf object opens and filters
• resource download/interest clicks
• outbound clicks
• newsletter submit attempts
• future search query and result-click events

Not Tracked

• cross-site identity
• ad retargeting
• keystrokes
• full form contents
• precise location

Debugging

Open the browser console and run:

window.JGAnalytics.flushDebugEvents()

This returns locally queued events and clears the queue. Analytics must never block navigation, form submission, or page rendering.
