 * We noticed a file on the server, iawp-geo-db.mmdb from this plugin that is 127MB.
   Is that normal for this plugin? It’s in the uploads folder. What happens if that
   file is removed?
 * thanks,

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for using Independent Analytics!
 * Yes, this file is added by our plugin. It is a database that maps IP addresses
   to geolocations and is required for the geographic tracking.
 * If you don’t need geographic tracking, then you can remove it. Please add this
   line of code to your **wp-config.php** file:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       define('IAWP_DISABLE_GEO_TRACKING', true);
       ```
   
 * Then you can delete the iawp-geo-db.mmdb file and it won’t be redownloaded.
