Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to Web pages. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which web page a person concerned came to a web page from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the web page were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a web site and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission statements.
