Page and referral events
We store the page path and type, referral hostname, campaign labels, and random event identifiers. A click to an affiliated project receives a new anonymous sgi_ref so that project can report an attributable outcome.
Measured for decisions,
not personal profiles.
Social Growth Index uses limited first-party event data to understand which research pages are read and which affiliated projects receive a referral. Optional Google Analytics loads only after a visitor chooses “Allow analytics.”
No identity fields
Our attribution database does not intentionally store names, email addresses, phone numbers, social handles, raw order IDs, full referrer URLs, user-agent strings, or visitor IP addresses.
Consent before GA4
Google Analytics remains unloaded until consent. If allowed, analytics storage is enabled while advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalization remain denied.
Direct attribution
How a project outcome is matched.
Each outbound project click receives a random sgi_ref. A registration, lead, checkout, completed order, or refund is counted as directly attributable only when the same reference is returned by the matching project through an authenticated server request. The public site never receives the customer identity or raw order number.
Your analytics choice
Change the optional setting at any time.
The site stores the choice in local browser storage under sgi:analytics-consent:v1. Resetting it reloads this page and shows the consent prompt again. You can also clear this site’s local storage in your browser.
