 * Just looking through the tracking settings. Does this plugin automatically exclude
   site admins from the stats by default? I edit pages daily and tbh don’t want 
   my own clicks inflating the data. Lmk how u handle this.

 * Hi [@alenaalan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alenaalan/),
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * Yes, by default MonsterInsights doesn’t track logged-in Administrators or Editors,
   specifically so your own page edits and clicks don’t skew your stats.
 * If you’d like to confirm this or exclude any additional user roles, you can head
   to **Insights** » **Settings** » **Advanced**, and in the **Permissions** box
   you’ll find the “Exclude These User Roles From Tracking” option. Administrator
   and Editor are already selected there by default. If you decide to test your 
   tracking is working, you’ll want to view your site logged out or in a private/
   incognito window.

 * Let me know if you have any other questions!
 * Thanks.
