We used Google Analytics at the ODF Toolkit Union, and it worked well there. I think it would be good if we continued using it. The terms of service [i] for Google Analytics requires that we (as a user of their service) have a privacy policy and that the privacy policy "must provide notice of your use of a cookie that collects anonymous traffic data." So the examples you give, from other Apache projects, are good models.
