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!

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).
