Goggle analytics tracks your behaviour when you are using the Kobo website, either on device or on the web. It does not associate data with a particular individual, nor does it have anything to do with data regarding how fast you read, whether you finish a particular book. Google analytics are in use on almost every website anyone ever visits, it seems.
