The problem seems to be that Google Analytics 4 (GA4) doesn’t provide the built-in dimension defaultChannelGrouping that was available in Universal Analytics. GA4 uses a different approach for reporting and doesn’t come with pre-processed data, hence things like Acquisition channels are not readily available. It is recommended to use traffic… Read more

In essence, for Chrome extensions, you aren’t allowed to import scripts from external links within background scripts, content scripts, or any new HTML page or pop-up HTML. The ideal way to handle this is to bring whatever resources or scripts you need into your own chrome extension files and then reference those local files instead. So rather… Read more

The problem here seems to be with trying to manage cookies and other scripts that come from various tags, specifically non-Google ones like Facebook. Updating the tags to ‘granted’ should allow the cookies and scripts to function as normal once the user gives their consent. But this isn’t always the case, with the Facebook tag still not firing… Read more

Hey there! I totally feel where you’re coming from. But worry not; I might have a solution for you. You know when you dive into your GA4 setting (Google Analytics 4), there’s this particular option?

Ah, I see! It does seem a bit tricky, doesn’t it? There’s one method I know of to backfill previous data, and that is by utilizing a tool called the Supermetrics Analytics connector. It’s available on the GCP Marketplace. As far as I’m aware, there isn’t another way currently to achieve this. Hope this helps!

Hey, I checked out Google’s documentation on “[Automatically collected events](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9234069)” and it turns out that these parameters: language, page_location, page_referrer, page_title, and screen_resolution are actually collected by default with every event. So, you might not need to write any additional… Read more

Can you guide me on how to view the details like page_path etc. while exploring user events such as page_view, scroll, session_start in GA4? I am new to GA4 and have been having trouble understanding it. In User Explorer in UA, I was able to see the page opened, link clicked, amongst other things. But here I don’t see any parameters or the click… Read more

It seems you’re encountering an unexpected issue where GA4 is producing duplicate link clicks after having setup Outbound clicks tracking in Enhanced Measurement and creating an Auto Event variable for internal clicks through GTM. Some possible reasons might be discrepancies between your Debug View and Live Report figures, or a glitch in the… Read more

While it might seem more complicated to handle multiple GTM containers, the consultant’s advice holds value in terms of accuracy and avoiding unintended GDPR-related conflicts or mistakes happening for non-GDPR sites. The level of risk might be small, but GDPR non-compliance comes with severe penalties which might outweigh the effort of… Read more

Hey folks, have you also noticed something odd with the token consumption? It looks like it’s stuck at 1 since the start of this week. 🤔 Kinda strange considering it used to hover somewhere closer to 10. Got me wondering if there might be some behind-the-scenes changes or plans stirring.

Just to give a bit more context, here’s some of the…

“Hey all,

I’ve got a little problem. I’m using GA4 to keep track of all the applications our customers have installed. We need to know which versions they’re running. Our app is a web app (WAR) on Tomcat.

For each webpage that’s generated and sent to the client browser, we’ve added this gtag script: gtag('config', 'OUR-COMON-GA4-ID',… Read more
