Hi Themeco,

in Germany, you have to give users the chance to opt out cookies. Therefore, I have to make some changes.

To get everything working I have to add the following javascript just in front of the tracking code of GoogleAnalytics:

<script>
var gaProperty = ‘UA-XXXXXXX-X’;
var disableStr = ‘ga-disable-‘ + gaProperty;
if (document.cookie.indexOf(disableStr + ‘=true’) > -1) {
window[disableStr] = true;
}
function gaOptout() {
document.cookie = disableStr + ‘=true; expires=Thu, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 UTC; path=/’;
window[disableStr] = true;
}
</script>

Do I have to insert the code at the plugin (x-google-analytics)?
If yes, in which folder?
If no, where can I make the changes?

And what is the correct position?

I am fairly new at working with code so that I have very basic questions.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers, Miriam

Hi,

and one additional question: In Germany, you have to make some anonymizing changes in the standard code of google analytics. Therefore, I have to add (‘set’, ‘anonymizeIp’, true); in the Google Analytics Code. Can I do that in the plug in oder somewhere else? In the child theme?

Thanks for you help?

Cheers, Miriam

Hey Miriam,

You can put your code in the X Google Analytics extension. Please see https://community.theme.co/kb/extension-google-analytics/ for usage instructions.

Regarding Google Analytics settings, you need to contact Google Analytics support as the extension basically accepts code and has no further setting except the code position.

Thanks.
