Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I am afraid I am still struggling with understanding how to balance data collection and complying with GDPR.
I am using GTM4WP to integrate GA and GTM with my website, and I am now trying to work out if I have configured everything correctly (including the Complianz plugin) so that I am able to collect useful data but also be UK-GDPR compliant.
In the Wizard, I have selected:
Yes, and Google Tag Manager fires this script
I have accepted the Google data processing amendment (in Google Analytics)
Google is not allowed to use this data for other Google services (in Google Analytics)
Acquiring IP-addresses is blocked (I’m not sure if this has been done – is there an easy way to check?)
Do you want to ask consent for statistics? Yes
Do you want to use ‘Consent per Service? Yes
My questions are:
Is there a simple way to check that the set up is correct? Is there a simple way to check if I the cookies/tags are only working after consent?
I am assuming most people will not consent to cookies because it is easier to dismiss the pop-up rather than opting in. Does this mean there will be minimum data?
I have read the below article about Configuring Google Analytics 4 for GDPR and have implemented the recommendations. Does that mean I will not be able to collect demographic data (e.g. town location) and search console data?

Sorry for all the questions.
