How to set up Google analytics IP anonymization

Phil

Hi guys,

due to GDPR reasons in Europe I have to setup Google Analytics with IP anonymization.
I could get GA up and running here:

But how do I disable IP tracking? As far as I know I have to add some lines to existing code. But where do I find the source code for GA?

Thanks a lot!

Hey Phil, this feature will activate the regular Google Analytics / Google tag manager code

For your use case you need more control, so I suggest you remove that config from your project settings then instead add your custom tracking code with this feature: https://changelog.appdrag.com/features/add-custom-html-code-on-your-entire-project

Thanks Joseph for your help!

For other user, that might be interested in this topic as well:
I have included following script at the very top of the global header section of my project (see Josephs link) :

    <!-- IP anonymization with gtag.js - Google Analytics -->
    <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-xxxxxx"></script>
    <script>
        window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
        function gtag() {
            dataLayer.push(arguments);
        }
        gtag('js', new Date());
        gtag('config', 'G-xxxxxx', { 'anonymize_ip': true });
    </script>

Hope that works...
