Perch and Google Analytics doing the impossible!
Hi,
I have a perch site online, I have not put in the Google Analytics tracking code anywhere on the site, nor installed the Google Analytics add-on. However Google are still managing to track analytics?
It's spooky! Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks Steve
I'm not sure why you think this has something to do with Perch? We couldn't add Analytics without you doing so, we don't know your tracking ID.
Have a look at the cookies the site is setting in your browser, can you see analytics cookies? If so, you have GA enabled somehow.
This problem has now been solved. Apparently Google Analytics in general seem to be having a problem with spam and ghost referrals. If anyone using Perch stumbles across this problem with this then visit:

That had me really confused then!
Thanks Rachel and keep up the good work, Perch is great! x
