Analytics Germanized for Google Analytics (GDPR / DSGVO)

Description

Google Analytics preconfigured to respect EU law (GDPR / DSGVO) and with lots of advanced analytics settings for extensive tracking possibilities.

You can use this plugin to integrate Google Analytics conform to EU law in compliance with data protection. For this you only need to put your Google Analytics ID into the general settings. Other settings (e.g. AnonymizeIP) are preconfigured accordingly and need to be changed only when needed or when extensions are desired.

For a privacy-compliant integration, it is necessary that you clarify the use of Google Analytics in your privacy policy. Additionally, a possibility for an opt-out of Google Analytics must be created. For the opt-out you can use the shortcode described in the tab general, point 3.

In the advanced settings features of Google Analytics can be activated. Corresponding information can be found in the settings.

Does the job, however I’m using a different consent manager and have disabled the banner/popup.

I was looking for other plugins to handle cookie management for a small website. And this plugin has all it needs: it greates a cusotmizable pop-up, it handles the according scripts to deny / allow tracking and it even integrates google analytics without having to add script manually. And the biggest plus: it is for free. What comes a little short is the variety of layouts and positions. And because I don’t like the hovering button, I miss an alternative way to show the cookie pop-up again.

I had earlier expressed criticism about this plugin. First via their support, which partly fell on deaf ears. After that, I voiced my critique here and was heard. I want to be fair and revise my rating after the developers have removed ads from the dashboard, as described below. Since everything else works really well, this is one of the best GDPR-Plugins out there. You should give it a try, if you are using Google Analytics. Imagine this: One of your editors is about to export the newest gravity forms entries (so a totally different plugin) and suddenly has a huge advertisement banner displayed for Bajorat media (the developer behind this plugin), right on top of the backend display, outside any settings page of this particular plugin. And the first thing your editor thinks: This shouldn’t be there. Did we get hacked? And now imagine how the rest of the day goes for the dev who gets a call right after. Backend ads like that are very big no go! Will have to replace this plugin.
