The free GEO check
The GEO check itself places no tracking or analytics cookies. After an active submission it does process the URL and connects to Google PageSpeed Insights and Google Knowledge Graph Search. Google Analytics can measure the visit only if you have given consent. Details are in the privacy policy.
