Traffic & Behavior Tracking

  • Page visits and Users are tracked with Google Analytics.
  • We log the visits to a GA property owned by the product owner.
  • We use three GA views for each product:
    • One for visits to the editorial product
    • One for visits to subscription and account managements pages
    • One that is used on both
  • Visits from logged in admin users are excluded
  • We store custom dimensions to allow deeper analysis

Custom dimensions

Custom Dimension Name Index Scope Value
page_type 1 Hit A reference to the page type
page_id 2 Hit The unique platform identifier for the visited page (i.e the Content Item ID)
signed_in 3 Hit Boolean (is the visitor signed in?)
subscriber 4 Hit Boolean (is the visitor an active subscriber?)
read_on_page 5 Hit Boolean (was a Content Item read on it’s own page or in another context, like continuous scroll)

There's still hope. Probably.
