You can download the browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics at this address https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The add-on communicates to the Google Analytics JavaScript code (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself.
