I need to remove Google Analytics from my WP site. I have removed the code. I checked the footer and head tag templates, and I checked the theme. Everything seems to be ok, but google is still collecting data.

What am I missing?

    You need to check in all SEO plugins or Theme Option. Good luck to you!

    try checking the html code that is in the page that looks like this

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
    _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

    (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();

    </script>
    if not try checking anything that is about tracking.

    You can PM me the website. I'll gladly look over your website and see if you still have the code in place.

      I'm have the same issue!
      How can this be? I'm not seeing any analytics tag in my code, but 24hours after removal, it still collects data. I'll wait a bit more before I panic...

      2 options come to mind:

      This google related line
      <script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>

      or
      could a G+ button relay information to analytics???

      Wow!

    Out of curiosity -- why do you want to remove it?

      Google actually can use this data to lower your rankings

    Do you have JetPack installed on your site? If so make sure you take out all the analytic data there.

    Good Luck
