Privacy settings: Google Tag Manager/Analytics active even after opt out?

Hi,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Did you include the Google Analytics code in the field? If you want to prevent the tracking code from rendering when “aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled” cookie is set, edit the functions-enfold.php file and look for this code around line 956:

echo $extra_code . $avia_config['analytics_code'];

Above it, add this code:

if(isset($_COOKIE['aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled']) && $_COOKIE['aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled'] == true) return;

You can add a condition for the tag manager code in this block.

$match = array();
			preg_match( "!UA-[0-9]+-[0-9]+!", $avia_config['analytics_code'], $match );

			if( ! empty( $match ) && isset( $match[0] ) ) 
			{
				$UAID = $match[0];
			}

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Where we can we reproduce the issue? The tracker should not go through once the “aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled” cookie is enabled or when the user opt out, so the modification above is not really necessary. It just prevents the tracking snippet from being rendered when tracking is disabled.

// https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/user-opt-out

The ga-disable property is added to the script once the user opt out.

Hi,

@isee: How did you add the tag manager snippet? Did you include it in the theme’s Google Analytics field? If so, then you can try the modification to prevent the tag manager snippet from rendering when tracking is disabled.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

You should add the tag manager script in the Google Analytics field in the Theme Options > Google Services panel. You can then follow the first modification that we suggested in our previous reply above.

Both snippets will not be added to the page when the “aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled” is set.

Hi,

Thank you for following up.

You don’t need to add the second block of the code. All you need is the if statement, which checks for the presence of the “aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled” cookie. This is the line:

if(isset($_COOKIE['aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled']) && $_COOKIE['aviaPrivacyGoogleTrackingDisabled'] == true) return;

Place it above this line as suggested previously.

echo $extra_code . $avia_config['analytics_code'];
