# GA4 Privacy and Compliance
## Overview
GA4 provides privacy-focused features for GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy regulations including Consent Mode, data controls, and compliance workflows.
## When to Use This Skill
Invoke this skill when:
- Implementing Consent Mode v2 for GDPR compliance
- Setting up consent banners and consent management platforms (CMPs)
- Configuring privacy settings for EU/EEA users
- Handling GDPR/CCPA data deletion requests
- Implementing privacy-first tracking strategies
- Setting consent parameters (ad_storage, analytics_storage)
- Configuring data retention policies
- Managing user opt-outs and privacy requests
- Working with consent management platforms (OneTrust, Cookiebot)
- Implementing server-side consent tracking
- Debugging consent mode implementation
- Ensuring regulatory compliance for analytics
## Core Capabilities
### Consent Mode v2
**What is Consent Mode:**
Google's API for communicating user consent status to GA4, Google Ads, and other Google tags.
**Consent Parameters (v2):**
1. **ad_storage**
- Purpose: Advertising cookies (remarketing, conversion tracking)
- Values: "granted" | "denied"
2. **analytics_storage**
- Purpose: Analytics cookies (GA4 tracking)
- Values: "granted" | "denied"
3. **ad_user_data** (NEW in v2)
- Purpose: User data sharing for advertising
- Values: "granted" | "denied"
4. **ad_personalization** (NEW in v2)
- Purpose: Personalized advertising
- Values: "granted" | "denied"
**Additional Parameters:**
5. **personalization_storage**
- Purpose: Website personalization
- Values: "granted" | "denied"
6. **functionality_storage**
- Purpose: Essential site functionality
- Values: "granted" | "denied"
7. **security_storage**
- Purpose: Security features (fraud prevention)
- Values: "granted" | "denied"
### Implementing Consent Mode
**Basic Implementation (gtag.js):**
**Step 1: Set Default Consent State (BEFORE gtag.js)**
```html
<script>
// Set default consent to denied
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied'
});
// Configure GA4
gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
</script>
<!-- Load gtag.js -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX"></script>
```
**Step 2: Update Consent After User Choice**
```javascript
// When user accepts all cookies
gtag('consent', 'update', {
'ad_storage': 'granted',
'ad_user_data': 'granted',
'ad_personalization': 'granted',
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
});
// When user accepts only analytics
gtag('consent', 'update', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
});
// When user denies all
gtag('consent', 'update', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied'
});
```
**GTM Implementation:**
**Method 1: Using Consent Mode Template**
1. **Install CMP Template** (OneTrust, Cookiebot, etc.)
2. Configure default consent in template
3. Template auto-updates consent on user choice
**Method 2: Manual GTM Setup**
**Create Consent Initialization Tag:**
1. Tag Type: Custom HTML
2. Code:
```html
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied'
});
</script>
```
3. Trigger: Consent Initialization - All Pages
4. Tag firing priority: 999 (fires first)
**Create Consent Update Tag (on user acceptance):**
1. Tag Type: Custom HTML
2. Code: `gtag('consent', 'update', ...)`
3. Trigger: Custom event from CMP (e.g., `consent_granted`)
### Regional Settings
**EU-Specific Consent:**
```javascript
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied'
}, {
'region': ['AT', 'BE', 'BG', 'HR', 'CY', 'CZ', 'DK', 'EE', 'FI', 'FR', 'DE', 'GR', 'HU', 'IE', 'IT', 'LV', 'LT', 'LU', 'MT', 'NL', 'PL', 'PT', 'RO', 'SK', 'SI', 'ES', 'SE', 'GB']
});
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'granted',
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
}, {
'region': ['US-CA'] // California - CCPA
});
```
### Consent Mode Behavior
**When analytics_storage = "denied":**
- GA4 uses cookieless pings
- No client_id stored in cookies
- Modeling used to fill gaps
- Limited user tracking
- Session duration not tracked
**When analytics_storage = "granted":**
- Full GA4 tracking enabled
- Cookies stored
- client_id persists
- Complete user journey tracking
**Conversion Modeling:**
When consent denied, GA4 uses:
- Machine learning to estimate conversions
- Aggregated, anonymized data
- Behavioral modeling
- "Modeled" label in reports
### Data Retention Settings
**Path:** Admin → Data Settings → Data Retention
**Options:**
- **2 months** (default)
- **14 months**
**Applies To:**
- User-level data in Explorations
- Event-level data in Explorations
- Does NOT affect standard reports
**Reset on New Activity:**
- ON: Timer resets when user returns (rolling window)
- OFF: Data deleted based on original collection date
**GDPR Compliance:**
- Shorter retention = more privacy-focused
- Document retention policy in privacy policy
- Consider BigQuery export for longer storage
### Data Deletion Requests
**User Right to Deletion (GDPR Article 17):**
**Deleting User Data:**
1. **Admin → Data Settings → Data Deletion Requests**
2. **Create Deletion Request**
3. Choose deletion parameter:
- **User ID:** Delete by user_id
- **Client ID:** Delete by client_id (user_pseudo_id)
- **App Instance ID:** Delete by app instance
4. Enter identifier value
5. Choose date range or "All time"
6. Submit request
**Processing:**
- Takes up to 72 hours
- Deletes ALL events for that identifier
- Cannot be undone
- Confirmation email sent when complete
**Best Practice:**
- Maintain deletion request log
- Respond to requests within 30 days (GDPR requirement)
- Document process in privacy policy
### IP Anonymization
**GA4 Default Behavior:**
- GA4 does NOT log or store IP addresses
- IP used only for geo-location derivation
- No additional anonymization needed
**Unlike Universal Analytics:**
- No `anonymize_ip` parameter needed
- Privacy-first by design
- IP address never in reports or exports
### Google Signals
**What It Enables:**
- Demographics reporting (age, gender)
- Interests reporting
- Cross-device tracking (without User ID)
- Remarketing audiences
**Privacy Implications:**
- Requires user consent for personalized ads
- Subject to data thresholds
- User opt-out via Ads Settings
**Enabling:**
Admin → Data Settings → Data Collection → Google Signals
**Recommendation:**
- Enable only with proper consent
- Respect user opt-outs
- Document in privacy policy
### Data Thresholds
**What Are Thresholds:**
GA4 applies thresholds to reports when:
- Small user counts could reveal individual identity
- Google Signals enabled
- User demographics requested
**When Applied:**
- Small audience sizes
- Rare combinations of dimensions
- Reports show "(thresholded)" or data withheld
**Managing Thresholds:**
- Disable Google Signals (if not needed)
- Use broader date ranges
- Aggregate dimensions
- Export to BigQuery for unthresholded data
### Consent Management Platforms (CMPs)
**Popular CMPs:**
- OneTrust
- Cookiebot
- Termly
- Osano
- TrustArc
**GTM CMP Templates:**
Most CMPs provide GTM templates:
1. **Community Template Gallery** → Search CMP name
2. Install template
3. Configure CMP settings
4. Auto-updates consent to GA4
**Example: Cookiebot Integration**
1. Install Cookiebot tag on site
2. Install Cookiebot template in GTM
3. Template auto-sets default consent
4. Updates consent based on user choice
5. No manual gtag('consent') needed
### GDPR Compliance Checklist
- [ ] Privacy policy updated with GA4 usage
- [ ] Cookie consent banner implemented
- [ ] Consent Mode v2 configured (all 4 parameters)
- [ ] Default consent set to "denied" for EU users
- [ ] Consent updates on user acceptance
- [ ] Data retention configured (2 or 14 months)
- [ ] Data deletion process documented
- [ ] User opt-out mechanism available
- [ ] Google Signals consent obtained (if enabled)
- [ ] Cross-border data transfer disclosures
- [ ] DPA (Data Processing Agreement) with Google signed
- [ ] Regular privacy audit schedule
### CCPA Compliance
**Requirements:**
- Allow users to opt out of "sale" of personal information
- Provide "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link
- Honor Global Privacy Control (GPC)
**Implementation:**
```javascript
// Detect GPC signal
if (navigator.globalPrivacyControl) {
gtag('consent', 'update', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'granted' // Analytics OK, ads denied
});
}
```
**GTM Variable for GPC:**
1. Variable Type: JavaScript Variable
2. Global Variable Name: `navigator.globalPrivacyControl`
3. Use in Consent Mode logic
### Testing Consent Mode
**Verification Steps:**
1. **DebugView Test:**
- Enable DebugView
- Before consent: Check `analytics_storage = denied`
- After consent: Check `analytics_storage = granted`
2. **Check Event Parameters:**
- Events should include consent status
- Look for `gcs` parameter (Google Consent State)
3. **Cookie Inspection:**
- Before consent: No `_ga` cookie
- After consent: `_ga` cookie set
4. **GTM Preview:**
- Verify Consent Initialization tag fires first
- Verify GA4 tag respects consent
- Verify consent update tags fire on user action
**Chrome DevTools:**
```javascript
// Check current consent state
dataLayer.filter(item => item[0] === 'consent')
```
### Server-Side Consent
**Measurement Protocol with Consent:**
```json
{
"client_id": "client_123",
"consent": {
"ad_storage": "denied",
"analytics_storage": "granted",
"ad_user_data": "denied",
"ad_personalization": "denied"
},
"events": [...]
}
```
**Best Practice:**
- Pass consent status from frontend to backend
- Include in all Measurement Protocol requests
- Store user consent preferences in database

document.getElementById('consent-banner').style.display = 'none';
}
function applyStoredConsent() {
const status = localStorage.getItem('consentStatus');
if (status === 'all') {
acceptAllConsent();
} else if (status === 'analytics') {
acceptAnalyticsOnly();
} else {
rejectAllConsent();
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
## Regional Consent Settings
### EU vs US Default Consent
```javascript
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
// EU/EEA: Default denied
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied'
}, {
'region': ['AT', 'BE', 'BG', 'HR', 'CY', 'CZ', 'DK', 'EE', 'FI', 'FR', 'DE', 'GR', 'HU', 'IE', 'IT', 'LV', 'LT', 'LU', 'MT', 'NL', 'PL', 'PT', 'RO', 'SK', 'SI', 'ES', 'SE', 'GB', 'IS', 'LI', 'NO']
});
// US (except California): Default granted
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'granted',
'ad_user_data': 'granted',
'ad_personalization': 'granted',
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
});
// California (CCPA): Analytics granted, ads denied
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
}, {
'region': ['US-CA']
});
```
## Google Tag Manager Implementation
### Method 1: Custom HTML Tags
**Tag 1: Consent Initialization (Fires First)**
```html
<!-- Tag Name: Consent Mode - Initialization -->
<!-- Tag Type: Custom HTML -->
<!-- Firing Trigger: Consent Initialization - All Pages -->
<!-- Advanced Settings → Tag firing priority: 999 -->
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied',
'wait_for_update': 500
});
</script>
```
**Tag 2: Consent Update - Accept All**
```html
<!-- Tag Name: Consent Mode - Accept All -->
<!-- Tag Type: Custom HTML -->
<!-- Firing Trigger: Custom Event - consent_granted -->
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('consent', 'update', {
'ad_storage': 'granted',
'ad_user_data': 'granted',
'ad_personalization': 'granted',
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
});
</script>
```
**Tag 3: Consent Update - Analytics Only**
```html
<!-- Tag Name: Consent Mode - Analytics Only -->
<!-- Tag Type: Custom HTML -->
<!-- Firing Trigger: Custom Event - consent_analytics -->
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('consent', 'update', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
});
</script>
```
### Method 2: Using CMP Template (Cookiebot Example)
1. **Install Cookiebot Template:**
- GTM Templates → Template Gallery
- Search "Cookiebot"
- Add to workspace
2. **Configure Cookiebot Tag:**
- Tag Type: Cookiebot CMP (Community Template)
- Cookiebot ID: Your Cookiebot ID
- Default consent: All denied
- Trigger: Consent Initialization - All Pages
- Priority: 999
3. **Cookiebot auto-handles:**
- Default consent setting
- Consent updates on user choice
- Consent persistence
- Regional settings
## JavaScript Event Listeners
### Listening to Consent Changes
```javascript
// Monitor consent state changes
window.addEventListener('consent-update', function(event) {
console.log('Consent updated:', event.detail);
// Send custom event to analytics
gtag('event', 'consent_update', {
'consent_status': event.detail.analytics_storage,
'timestamp': new Date().toISOString()
});
});
// Trigger on user action
function updateConsent(status) {
gtag('consent', 'update', status);
// Dispatch event for other scripts
window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('consent-update', {
detail: status
}));
}
```
## CCPA / Global Privacy Control (GPC)
### Detecting and Honoring GPC
```javascript
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
// Check for Global Privacy Control signal
if (navigator.globalPrivacyControl === true) {
// User has GPC enabled - deny advertising
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'granted' // Analytics OK
});
} else {
// No GPC signal - use standard defaults
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied'
});
}
```
### GTM Variable for GPC
**Variable Configuration:**
- Variable Type: Custom JavaScript
- Name: "GPC - Global Privacy Control"
```javascript
function() {
return navigator.globalPrivacyControl === true ? 'enabled' : 'disabled';
}
```
Use in consent logic to conditionally set consent.
## Consent with Server-Side Tracking
### Measurement Protocol with Consent
```python
import requests
import json
MEASUREMENT_ID = "G-XXXXXXXXXX"
API_SECRET = "your_api_secret"
ENDPOINT = f"https://www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect?measurement_id={MEASUREMENT_ID}&api_secret={API_SECRET}"
def send_with_consent(client_id, event_name, consent_status):
payload = {
"client_id": client_id,
"consent": {
"ad_storage": consent_status.get('ad_storage', 'denied'),
"analytics_storage": consent_status.get('analytics_storage', 'denied'),
"ad_user_data": consent_status.get('ad_user_data', 'denied'),
"ad_personalization": consent_status.get('ad_personalization', 'denied')
},
"events": [{
"name": event_name,
"params": {}
}]
}
response = requests.post(ENDPOINT, json=payload)
return response.status_code == 204
# Example: User has granted analytics only
send_with_consent(
client_id="client_123",
event_name="purchase",
consent_status={
"ad_storage": "denied",
"analytics_storage": "granted",
"ad_user_data": "denied",
"ad_personalization": "denied"
}
)
```
## SPA (Single Page Application) Consent
### React Example
```javascript
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
function ConsentManager() {
const [showBanner, setShowBanner] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
// Initialize consent on app load
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){window.dataLayer.push(arguments);}
// Set default
gtag('consent', 'default', {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied'
});
// Check for stored consent
const storedConsent = localStorage.getItem('userConsent');
if (storedConsent) {
const consent = JSON.parse(storedConsent);
gtag('consent', 'update', consent);
} else {
setShowBanner(true);
}
}, []);
const acceptAll = () => {
const consent = {
'ad_storage': 'granted',
'analytics_storage': 'granted',
'ad_user_data': 'granted',
'ad_personalization': 'granted'
};
window.gtag('consent', 'update', consent);
localStorage.setItem('userConsent', JSON.stringify(consent));
setShowBanner(false);
};
const rejectAll = () => {
const consent = {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied'
};
window.gtag('consent', 'update', consent);
localStorage.setItem('userConsent', JSON.stringify(consent));
setShowBanner(false);
};
if (!showBanner) return null;
return (
<div className="consent-banner">
<p>We use cookies to improve your experience.</p>
<button onClick={acceptAll}>Accept</button>
<button onClick={rejectAll}>Reject</button>
</div>
);
}
export default ConsentManager;
```
## Testing Consent Mode
### DebugView Verification
```javascript
// Enable debug mode for testing
gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX', {
'debug_mode': true
});
// Set consent
gtag('consent', 'update', {
'analytics_storage': 'granted'
});
// Send test event
gtag('event', 'test_consent', {
'test_parameter': 'test_value'
});
// Check in DebugView:
// 1. Event appears
// 2. Event details show consent status
// 3. Look for "gcs" parameter (Google Consent State)
```
### Console Verification
```javascript
// Check consent state in console
dataLayer.filter(item => item[0] === 'consent')
// Expected output:
// [
// ['consent', 'default', {...}],
// ['consent', 'update', {...}]
// ]
```
### Cookie Inspection
**Before Consent (analytics_storage = denied):**
- Open DevTools → Application → Cookies
- Should NOT see `_ga`, `_ga_*` cookies
**After Consent (analytics_storage = granted):**
- `_ga` cookie present
- `_ga_<container-id>` cookie present
## Advanced: Granular Consent Options
### Custom Consent Categories
```javascript
// Your custom consent preferences
const userPreferences = {
necessary: true, // Always on
analytics: true, // User accepted
marketing: false, // User denied
personalization: true // User accepted
};
// Map to Google consent parameters
const consentMapping = {
ad_storage: userPreferences.marketing ? 'granted' : 'denied',
ad_user_data: userPreferences.marketing ? 'granted' : 'denied',
ad_personalization: userPreferences.personalization ? 'granted' : 'denied',
analytics_storage: userPreferences.analytics ? 'granted' : 'denied'
};
// Update consent
gtag('consent', 'update', consentMapping);
```
## Consent Revocation
### Allowing Users to Change Consent
```javascript
function showConsentSettings() {
// Show modal/settings page
document.getElementById('consent-settings-modal').style.display = 'block';
}
function updateConsentPreferences(newPreferences) {
gtag('consent', 'update', newPreferences);
localStorage.setItem('userConsent', JSON.stringify(newPreferences));
// Optional: Reload page to apply changes
// window.location.reload();
}
// Example: User clicks "Withdraw Consent"
function withdrawConsent() {
const deniedConsent = {
'ad_storage': 'denied',
'analytics_storage': 'denied',
'ad_user_data': 'denied',
'ad_personalization': 'denied'
};
updateConsentPreferences(deniedConsent);
// Delete existing GA cookies
document.cookie.split(";").forEach(function(c) {
if (c.trim().startsWith('_ga')) {
document.cookie = c.replace(/^ +/, "").replace(/=.*/, "=;expires=" + new Date().toUTCString() + ";path=/");
}
});
}
```
