Analytics __ga TAG doesn’t get injected after click on “Accept”

  • Hi everyone, I’ve being banging my head against walls since GDPR came out.

    I haven’t been able to find a plugin good looking and easy to make my website GDPR compliant.

    Cookie notice seems to be easy and good looking, (or may be I’m writing <head> code wrong).

    The problem is that in Italy analytical cookies (suck as GA) should be activated only after user acceptance. Well, Cookie notice has a section saying exactly that.

    That’s the code I wrote inside HEAD section (obviously changing UA id to mine):

    
<!-- Google Analytics -->
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
<!-- End Google Analytics -->

    Now, when I load my page (purged from cache and cookie, I get only cookie “lwpcngStatus” set to 1 (accepted) but no __ga cookies.

    Where am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance,
    Francesco

  • Ciao Francesco,
    ho affrontato anch’io il problema e per bloccare gli script in Cookie Notice uso una tecnica diversa che pare funzionare. Lascio completamente vuota la sezione di blocco script del plugin (che poi non è un blocco ma un’autorizzazione) e edito invece il codice delle pagine in questo modo:

    <?php if ( function_exists(‘cn_cookies_accepted’) && cn_cookies_accepted() ): ?>
    <script>
    (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[‘GoogleAnalyticsObject’]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
    (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
    m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    })(window,document,’script’,’//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js’,’ga’);

    ga(‘create’, ‘UA-XXXXX-Y’, ‘auto’);
    ga(‘require’, ‘displayfeatures’);
    ga(‘send’, ‘pageview’);
    </script>
    <?php endif ?>

    Questo dovrebbe bloccare GA finchè l’utente non accetta il banner, ovviamente imposto il reload della pagina in Cookie Notice.

    Un approccio più raffinato (ma non mi è ancora chiaro se GDPR compliant o no) potrebbe essere di usare:

    <?php if ( function_exists(‘cn_cookies_accepted’) && cn_cookies_accepted() ): ?>
    script GA normale

    <?php else: ?>
    script GA anonimizzato

    <?php endif ?>

    Ciao,
    Riccardo
