 In your theme folder find file named page.tpl.php. Open it for editing
and scroll down to find something like:

    </body>
</html>

 And then paste the given script right above the "</body" line.

 That's the easiest and lightest decision. There is also a module
dedicated to Analytics, but in my opinion it is overhead and unneeded
for such a small feature.

 You may then decide to exclude yourself from tracking. Then, if your
username is, say "admin" you wrap the analytics code this way:

 <?php
 global $user;
 if($user->name != 'admin') {
 ?>

 ....here goes the analytics code......

 <?php } ?>
   </body>
</html>

 And there it is ;)
