π¨ GOOGLE ANALYTICS CHANGE π¨
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:
π€ better prepared for a cookie-less internet
π€ does not store IP addresses.
π€ Better data analysis & data collection
π€ Easier administration
π€ 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
