Google Analytics traffic drops

Since installing the plugin I’ve seen a big drop in traffic. Today I found out that it was because the plugin blocks analytics as standard.

In GDPR & CCPA plugin we provide several options to manage your Google Analytics tracking. Please check the available options below:

  1. Allow Google Analytics to always track all users like before
    ⇒ Make sure that you triggered cookie detector and Google Analytics cookies are listed in Services Manager (⇥how to use Service manager)
    Edit Google Analytics service
    Uncheck the Do you want to activate this service? checkboxdeactivate service⇒ Save changes with Update button


  2. Track Users Anonymously
    ⇒ Make sure that you triggered cookie detector and Google Analytics cookies are listed in Services Manager (⇥how to use Service manager)
    Edit Google Analytics service
