    Cool! By the way, just a question, did you have seen any problem related with privacy?

    Hi Gianluca, Thanks for your question. This tracking method knows two privacy related sides: Google Analytics and Facebook. Within the Google Analytics Terms of Service (http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/tos.html) there is a statement about personal identiyfing information (#7 Privacy): "You will not ... associate any data gathered from Your website(s) ... with any personally identifying information". In this case you are not able to identify individual visitors. Because the data is saved as an event for all visitors. If you should add the IP address for example to the event tracking you should get personal identifying information. But you probably don't want to do that because it's contrary to the TOS. Facebook also gives users the ability to change your privacy settings (http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info-on-other) on what 'websites' are able to see of your Facebook accont. In this case we only used it ourselves to determine the % of users logged in on Facebook. Hopefully this answers your question!

    Seems quasi-diabolical...but I like it!
