The website clearly states it does stop data being sent:

> Whats missing? Well, the original referrer. My google search. Well, it does appear that installing the GA.js blocker stops that info from going to google directly, however.

> Not sure why you are saying that my insight is a conflict of interest here

You are making false claims about a competitor without revealing that they are indeed a competitor nor that you have a long standing grudge against them.

That data is being sent on the original load of the Javascript file. Please refer to this section of the article: "To summarize: When google opt-out is enabled. Google still collects." (you will see a list of all the data including the original referrer)

The part that you are quoting is for a different product by Google. "googleadservices.com"

>"You are making false claims about a competitor without revealing that they are indeed a competitor nor that you have a long standing grudge against them."

I am not making false claims. Please hold the heavy handedness until we have reached an understanding.
