Privacy-first: where to begin
Read the guides below in the order that fits your question. Each article includes a relevant primary reference, an original worked approach, and links to the next useful concept. Keep sample illustrations separate from actual site observations as you apply the ideas.
Collect intentionally
Ask what the decision needs before adding another field or identifier.
Test the boundary
Make the chosen permission rule visible in the implementation tests.
Review what remains
Document access, exports, retention, and the retirement of unused events.

Privacy-first analytics: measure less, learn what matters
Build a smaller measurement plan with explicit purposes, thoughtful collection boundaries, and practical checks for every new event.
How to write an event tracking plan your whole team can maintain
Give events a purpose, stable names, reviewed properties, precise triggers, and acceptance tests before adding collection code.
