Web Analytics

Boise State utilizes Google Analytics and other tools to collect data about the performance of our web websites and how audiences interact with our content.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics collects the following data:

  • Information about your website audience, such as where they are located, how many new and returning visitors you have, how often they visit your website, and what devices they use to view your web content.
  • How people find and access your site, whether through search, a campaign URL, or following a link from another site.
  • What people do once they find your site, including buttons and links they click, pages with the most views, and top entry and exit pages.
  • Cross-site tracking to capture journeys across different Boise State sites.
