The work of preparing International Standards is
15、 normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part
16、 in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particula
17、r the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted.

21、017ISO 19731:2017(E)IntroductionAnalyses of digital behaviour and online digital statements by persons and companies have rapidly increased in importance. Examples are the measurement of the behaviour of website visitors, the measurement of behaviour by means of cookies, and the registration and mea
22、surement of statements and sentiments of users of social media.This document provides insight into the working methods of service providers in the fields of digital analytics and web analyses research and, in this way, provides clients with transparency regarding the services they offer. This docume
23、nt is intended to supplement and be used in conjunction with ISO 20252.Digital analytics and web analyses for the purpose of market, opinion and social research can be separated from the equivalent analyses carried out for non-research purposes. In both cases, the protection of privacy of the person
24、s analysed is regulated by legal provisions that apply to the particular project and, furthermore, by the relevant professional codes of conduct and other ethical guidelines.
