Is there a way to skip analytics on checkout pages?

I am trying to put some analytics feeds on my store, but I do not want to track the checkout process (for various reasons). So, I want to put the scripts inside a container and hopefully tell that container to not display during checkout.

Is this functionality already built-in?

This is contradicting
You either do not want to track the checkout or you do - which one is it??

If using google analytics code - nothing is presented to your customer

If you want to skip analytics on checkout pages, then chances are you also don't care about them on "My Account" or "Login" pages either. So therefore you could simply change your custom analytics code to not display when the PHP variable named $request_type is not set to 'SSL':

if ($request_type != 'SSL') {
 // put analytics code here
}

I don't understand the confusion. I originally wanted a container that could be turned off during checkout that held my analytics scripts:

I do not want to track the checkout process . . . [can the container] not display during checkout.

DrByte:

if ($request_type != 'SSL') {
// put analytics code here
}

This solution is pretty succinct and easier to manage. Thanks, DrByte.
