Speaking as someone who has read Lawrence and tried, with limited
success, to use Google Analytics, I think you have your priorities in
the right order, Joe.

[MODERATOR'S NOTE:  Ken's posting noting that liblicense uses Google
Analytics had me LOL.  No doubt he's right, but your moderator hasn't
A SINGLE CLUE how to make use of this and will ad the task on the list
after finding more fine chocolate shops and catching up with the New
Yorker, a never-ending challenge.]

It also uses "scorecard research" which sets 3 more cookies. It uses previews from google books- 10 more cookies. It uses "Addthis.com". Another 12 cookies. If I add to the shopping cart, I get 12 cookies from uchicago.edu itself.
