are collected using Google Analytics. Unity makes calls to a URI hosted by Google. The URN part of the URI contains details that describe what editor features or events have been used.

Examples of collected data

The following are examples of data that Unity might collect.

Which menu items have been used. If some menu items are used rarely or not at all we could in the future simplify the menuing system.

LightmapA pre-rendered texture that contains the effects of light sources on static objects in the scene. Lightmaps are overlaid on top of scene geometry to create the effect of lighting. More info

baking.
Again, timing and reporting how long it takes for light maps to bake can help us decide how much effort to spend on optimizing this area.
