Cookie-less Tracking

    I want to just track page views and things of that nature. And since this plugin is not fully GDPR compliant (despite what you guys say) since it doesn’t offer a user to consent or not consent, I was wondering if there’s a way to do cookie-less tracking.

    Thanks.

  • @andyjay83 thanks for your inquiry. We’re actively discussing the concerns you’ve raised and will be exploring further enhancements to assist with GDPR compliance as referenced in this Github issue. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome.

    Google Analytics tracking functionality uses cookies which are described in this article (along with customization instructions). Analytics provides several privacy controls outlined here, which can help with management.

    (Note that Site Kit anonymize’s IP addresses by default upon activation. You can find this option under Site Kit > Settings > Analytics > Edit > Anonymize IP addresses).

    Analytics Help is a good resource for information about tracking customization, security and privacy.

    We’ll certainly keep you updated on information regarding Site Kit.

    @andyjay83 thanks again for your initial inquiries and expressing your concerns in this topic.

    We have confirmed with our team that site owners who choose to use Google Analytics are responsible for managing notice/consent requirements, as described in the Terms of Service.

    As mentioned previously, Site Kit already anonymizes IP addresses upon activation of the Google Analytics module. In addition, we’re working on adding a way for cookie consent plugins to integrate with Site Kit to help site owners.
