Its seems that pottermore.com is tracking us... could a smart person explane this? The '*' in the code are to protect me ... to see the fullcode goto www.minosshell.weebly.com and shoot me a form asking so.
This is Google Analytics code, used by website owners to see how users use their websites. The data it collects is useful for helping website owners make websites easier to use, and to understand what kind of visitors come to their site. You'll find that Cemetech has Google Analytics code in the footer as well.

Your IP address is already available to every website you visit. I believe that your name and gender are being injected by Pottermore itself, which of course already knows those facts if you've signed up with an account. If you don't want them to have that information, then you shouldn't give it to them. There's a great deal of good reasoning to use falsified personal information on websites online, at least the ones where there's no good reason for your real name, gender, birthday, address, phone number, etc to be available.
