🚨 GOOGLE ANALYTICS CHANGE 🚨

This info is important for everyone who uses Google Analytics for their icf website.

The current "Google Analytics Universal" will be retired on 1 July 2023 and replaced with "Google Analytics 4". No more data will be collected on your old Google Analytics with the effective date!

That's why I want to encourage you to make the switch now in good time. It also brings some new advantages:

🀝 better prepared for a cookie-less internet
🀝 does not store IP addresses.
🀝 Better data analysis & data collection
🀝 Easier administration
🀝 And much more ...

For more information: https://youtu.be/fs1c29lCJA8

PS: If you don't use Google Analytics yet and have questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with @benniamann
