Javascript: How to block google analytics?

I'm building an website with Open Web Analytics.

My host is an free host and automatically insert Google Analytics.

I want remove Google Analytics because it forces to track users.

I inserted jQuery based node remove code before ga but it still gets loaded.

Like this:

<!-- Remove Google Anaylitics and include OWA. -->
<script src="js/RemoveGA.js"></script>
<script src="js/OWA.js"></script>

//RemoveGA.js
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("script").each(function () {
        if (this.innerHTML.length > 0) {
            var googleScriptRegExp = new RegExp("var gaJsHost|var pageTracker");
            if (this.innerHTML.match(googleScriptRegExp) && this.innerHTML.indexOf("innerHTML") == -1)
                $(this).remove();
        }
    });
});

Is there any solution to achieve this?

You can disable their Google Analytics account from tracking your website by defining the following global variable:

window['ga-disable-UA-XXXXXX-Y'] = true;

Change UA-XXXXXX-Y for the Account number they use.
