Which, while curt, was not impolite. But suggests you couldn't in the option to turn off and on. Or didn't understand what I meant. Your next response was:

Which is downright rude, insulting and completely uncalled for. And still says you don't either couldn't find the option or didn't understand what was being said.

And then we get:

Which is the whole point of this thread. The function of that setting has apparently changed in one of the recent firmware versions. Up until sometime fairly recently, it did block all activity. Now, seems to only block the reporting to Kobo. Which is good as that matches what the options says.

Now, if you are finished being rude, go back and read what I said earlier in the thread. I said to turn the option off to clear the stats. Then turn them on to use them. I did miss the fact that you already had them off. But, that does really change anything. Toggling the option like I said should still result in the stats being cleared. But, in your case, you need to turn them on, then off. That does clear the stats on the device I tested with under firmware 4.19.14123.

And if you open the settings from the stats page, make sure you leave the a stats page and come back so that they will be refreshed.

If this doesn't work, then something else is going on. That would need to be investigated. Maybe restarting the device after the changes just in case something didn't pick up the option change. Or, it could be your database is corrupt and hence isn't being updated correctly.
