Comment on Setting an Exclusion Cookie for Google Analytics with a Bookmarklet by Yi

Great job! This works with google pages. However, don’t work with google sites. It seems it’s really hard to make cookie in google sites analytics. In google sites, you can not use the script method either. Its analytics is integrated in some other way …

I would imagine that the javascript parts would run at native speed because of the compiler. More info here http://chromespot.com/index.php?board=4.0

I believe that is 90% of the point.

There was a graph somewhere of benchmarks, and chrome ran at least 5x faster than the closest competition.

@Robbin: I totally agree with you, in fact, I found doing that in the Web Developer Toolbar was more than I wanted, especially when I am doing repeated cookie work… So, I went and created another Bookmarklet tool, this time just creating a simple DIV lists all the cookies on the page. I had no idea anyone else would appreciate it, so it is currently sitting on my browser at home… I will upload it in a new post when I get home this evening, so you can have a look.

For anyone else reading this, I should explain, that a Bookmarklet tool script is a small piece of JavaScript, so it can be installed and run on any browser.

In fact, if you create a your own bookmark bar, and fill it with bookmarklets, you can create you own powerful toolbar like the Web Developer Toolbar.

I really like the functional programming capabilities of JavaScipt. It means that even though you are limited to 2000 odd characters for a bookmarklet (ie: the max size of a URL), you can compress a huge functionality into the available space.

If you want to play arround with JavaScript, I would definetely suggest you go and have a look at JSTR

If anyone is interested, I am quite happy to post and explain each of the 35 odd tools I have created for my own work.

Hi Techmale, I am finally cleaning out my email and finally loaded your bookmarklet. It is not that helpful for FF (because I can do it with JS there, not that I know much js, I am a copy and paste lady), but it is wonderful for Safari. Just want to point out that loading a web developer toolbar is a lot to do just to see cookies, how about (in FF), just Tools > Options >Privacy >Show cookies and search for either the site name or as you correctly point out, utmv.

@Tim: if you are using Firefox, then the easiest way is using the Web Developer Toolabar by Chris Pederick. Simply select Cookies>>ViewCookieInformation, and scroll through the cookies that are displayed. You are looking for _utmv.

Hi Justin,
This bookmarklet seems the easiest way to go.
How do I confirm that the cookie has been installed? Thanks.
