 * Hello,
 * Can anyone tell me how accurate is the traffic from this plugin compared to Google
   Analytics? When I look at my Google Analytics it is off by literally thousands?
   Is this normal? The Google Analytics is less than the plugin by several thousand.

 * Hi Krissy,
 * Thanks for using Independent Analytics. There are various reasons why the numbers
   can differ. The most common reason is that your site is using a cookie consent
   form and GA won’t track visitors unless they confirm tracking. This leads IA 
   to track many more visitors because it tracks all of them whether or not they
   agree to the cookie consent form (because no cookies are used).
