The Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO, EU-DSGVO, GDPR) stipulates that a site visitor must have the option to object to the collection by Google Analytics. Until now, this was only possible via browser addon, or complicated JavaScript code embedding on the own website. With this plugin, this is child’s play and the user also has the option to undo the objection. Features Support for Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Full integration of the new WordPress DSGVO / GDPR features Weekly check whether the settings are still data protection compliant! Compatible with Google Tag Manager. NO other plugin needed to use the Google Analytics code on the website. This can be integrated directly by this plugin. Site visitors can deactivate the Google Analytics tracking for themselves and also activate it again afterward. Link text for the activation and deactivation link can be changed individually. A popup can be set up, which appears after clicking the link. The UA-Code or GA4-Code can be entered manually or read out automatically by a Google Analytics tracking plugin (see compatible plugins).

Visual customizations through custom CSS codes that are loaded only together with the shortcode (optimized loading time). Translation for DE and EN available. Full support for PHP 8.1 Regularly check whether the settings are still data protection compliant! Ever edited the privacy policy page and accidentally deleted the opt-out shortcode? Recently deleted the plugin for Google Analytics tracking, then reinstalled it and forgot to re-enable IP anonymization? To ensure the highest security, the plugin regularly checks the settings. Should a setting no longer fit, then an error message appears in the WP Admin (Backend / Dashboad) or you will receive an email. You can freely choose the frequency of the check. The following intervals are available: daily, weekly or monthly. The following settings are checked: Opt-Out function enabled Opt-Out shortcode present on the page Page with the shortcode publicly available (published and no password protection) Valid UA-Code found (only the formatting is checked) IP anonymization enabled (Works only in conjunction with a compatible plugin or the tracking code is stored in the plugin) Integrated compatibility with the following plugins It is not a requirement to use the listed plugins! The Google Analytics Opt-Out Plugin is also compatible with other plugins and can be used even if the Google Analytics code itself was inserted. With integrated compatibility, we make work easier because the current UA-Code is automatically read out and kept up to date. This means that it does not have to be corrected manually.
