Google Analytics Opt-Out

وەسف

This plugin provides opt-out functionality for Google Analytics by setting a cookie that prevents analytics.js or gtag.js from collecting data. The new GDPR rules require an opt-out.

Works perfectly with the [Google Analytics by MonsterInsights Plugin] (https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/ “Google Analytics by MonsterInsights Plugin”). However, the plugin is not required to configure the opt-out feature. Just enter your UA or GA code manually. And that’s it!

The free and pro versions have now been merged. So now you can also activate a banner! Have fun with it!

سکرین شۆتەکان

  • The Opt-Out link can be added with the Opt-Out block in WordPress new block editor (that came with version 5.0).

  • If you’re using the classic editor, click this little button to add the shortcode.

  • This is how the code looks like

  • This is the settings page

How do I block Google Analytics beforehand with this plugin? The first time you visit Google Analytics has already tracked your visit. So I believe this plugin is not GDPR compliant! Because I am not sure if my assumptions above are correct I have changed the number of stars from 1 to 3. The plugin is great because of its simplicity.

Great and helpful plugin! Only after installing version 2.1.2, all pages, front end and back end, show a warning that a higher PHP version is required (my site runs on an older PHP version), so I could not even uninstall this plugin, had to delete it through FTP (and downgrade to an older version from backup).
