What it does

Running Google Analytics on a site with European visitors means thinking about personal data, consent and privacy law. Collecting IP addresses or tracking people before they agree can put a site at odds with the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. This add-on addresses that by anonymizing IP addresses before they are sent to Google Analytics and by showing consent prompts that record a visitor's choice before any tracking begins. The aim is to keep personally identifiable information out of your analytics while you still collect the traffic data you rely on.

The add-on works inside MonsterInsights, so it fits sites that already use that plugin for their Google Analytics setup. You can customize the consent prompts and cookie banner so visitors get a clear explanation of how their data is used. Tracking can be turned on or off based on each visitor's consent, and compliance reports give you a record to refer to when you need to show how your site handles analytics data. It suits small blogs and larger online stores alike.

Best for

WordPress sites using MonsterInsights with European visitors
Online stores that need consent before analytics tracking
Agencies managing GDPR-aware analytics for client sites
