Opt-In doesn’t work – GA is active onload

Hey, as far as I see if you do not accept the cookie it adds the GA tracking but with anonymize = true for hiding the IP address. My question would be in addition to that because event if someone accepts I want to anonymize the ip, is this possible to add this setting?

On my blog it is blocked. Maybe not all version of the GA scripts are blocked.

Hi guys,

unfortunately the official support didn’t respond so far. As it is an important GDPR issue, I’ve tried to solve it by my own.

In the folder ginger\addon\analytics you can find the javascript that is added when some pushes the accept button. (gingeranalytics.js & gingeranalytics.min.js)

There you can also find the anonymize code you mentioned @johannes89

So, if you really want an opt-in that your user have to consent for getting tracked by GA, then you just simply replace the original code with the following code in the file gingeranalytics.js

/**
 * Created by matteobarale on 09/07/15.
 */
function gingeranalytics(code) {
    console.log(code);
    console.log(getCookie('ginger-cookie'));

    if(getCookie('ginger-cookie') == 'Y'){
        var gacode =  "ga('create', '" + code + "', 'auto'); ga('set', 'anonymizeIP', true); ga('send', 'pageview');";
        var scriptanalytics = document.createElement('script');
		    scriptanalytics.type = 'text/javascript';
		    scriptanalytics.innerHTML = '(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\');' + gacode;
		    console.log(scriptanalytics);
    	document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(scriptanalytics);
    }else{

    }

}

function getCookie(cname) {
    var name = cname + "=";
    var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
    for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
        if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) return c.substring(name.length,c.length);
    }
    return "";
}

Hello,

Im having same problem,

Tried to move the analytics code on diferents places, also copied your ginger analytics functions. But when I open my web cookies from GA are enabled.

I’ve read that this pluguins can stop GA cookies. Can anybody help on this plz?

Thx

Hello all,

I could finally fix it, you must put the standard GA .js code, with global site gcag.js it wont work!!

Thx all

Hi @asilva2,

Ginger Cookies alway embed the .min.js files. So please consider to change the code in these files as well ??

Regards
