Your privacy is important and that's why we removed Google Analytics.

We decided to remove Google Analytics from CatholicLuv because we want to make sure that your privacy is protected. Google Analytics is a free tool, used by internet marketers and website administrators to understand how many users have visited their website, number of visits per page, and even drill down to individual users. According to W3Techs as of January 2021, Google Analytics is used in 84% of all known websites that use analytics, or 54% of all websites. It is so prevalent because Google provides the tool for free to website administrators, but there's a catch; not only do they provide useful data for owners of the website, Google uses the data for themselves. Google wants to know what sites you have been visiting to understand your interests in order to push ads they think you will click. Google tracks you from one website to another even if you're not using their search engine. As long as those websites are using Google Analytics, and over 1 in 2 websites are, Google can track you individually.

So, we removed Google Analytics. Even though the tool is free and the data it provides can help us make CatholicLuv better, we don't believe it is worth it to allow Google to track you. We've decided to switch to a privacy focused analytics tool called Plausible. While we have to pay for Plausible, it does not invade your privacy. Plausible anonymously aggregates website visits, has no ability to drill down to individual users, and it cannot track you between different websites. There's no cookie tracking and collected data is purged after 24 hours.

It might sound strange that a Catholic dating site is pushing for internet privacy, but we are posting this in hopes that others will take privacy seriously as well. If you want to contact us, you can always use the "Give Feedback" button after signing in, and we will respond to you ASAP.

5 traits women ACTUALLY find attractive

In response to our prior article , it was time to create an article that answered the other side of the equation, and this time it's for all the dudes out there! It is a timeless question: what do women want in a man? Further, and perhaps more importantly, what do faithful women look for in faithful men? There are a lot of articles out there to consider, along with a lot of mixed advice, but we've narrowed this list down to five heavy hitters for you to focus on going forward. 1. Confidence Confidence is infectious, especially in a romantic partner. We all want to feel like we are with someone who is strong, self-assured, and independent. Confidence is a tricky one though, because it's a bit of a catch-22. Low confidence begets more self-criticism begets lower confidence. Seeing highly confident people from a distance can feel like looking through the glass at a really great party: everyone is having fun and smiling, and you're left out in the cold. Ouch. Good ne...

3 powerful tips for self improvement while dating

Self-improvement is a hot topic, and a multi-billion dollar business. Just like any noisy subject with many opinions, ideas and suggestions, there are a lot of less than helpful conversations out there to consider. Think of advice like "be more confident" and "there are plenty of fish in the sea". Not helpful, and frankly, counterproductive for those of us that are looking for actionable advice to take into the modern dating world. We've gathered some great advice to get you started on a path to self improvement while dating. 1. Don't focus on dating. READ THAT AGAIN! The main focus of self-improvement should be just that - on the self. While we are looking to improve ourselves for the future relationships, family and life that we are looking to create and support in the years to come, let self-improvement be a selfish act for the benefit of future relationships. Bottom line: if you don't know yourself well, you won't be able to share yourself ...
