no user consent or cookie control, this concerns me

[bbbjames]

as the issue Add google Analytics #1 was closed i am opening this discussion

it concerns me that this is not compliant and does not give users clear visibility of how you track their activity

i suggest cookie control and user consent be implemented asap, personally, i go with a zero-cookie policy until someone makes a positive action to accept, then gtag is enabled

i asked the question 'have you implemented such a process, privacy policy and compliance?'

the comment in the issue i think was not correct and is setting cookies in violation of regulations and user rights

To address the compliance concern with Google Analytics, it's crucial to implement proper cookie control and user consent mechanisms. Here are the steps to ensure compliance and enhance user trust:

1. Implement Cookie Control and User Consent: Ensure your website uses a cookie consent banner that requires users to take a positive action (like clicking ""Accept"") before any tracking cookies are enabled. This practice aligns with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
2. Use Consent Mode: Implementing Google Consent Mode allows you to adjust how your Google Analytics and Ads behave based on user consent. It respects user choices and ensures that data collection is compliant with privacy laws.
3. Privacy Policy and Compliance: Regularly update your privacy policy to reflect how you collect, store, and use user data. Explicitly state the use of tracking technologies and the users' rights regarding their data.
4. Zero-Cookie Policy Until Consent: Adopting a zero-cookie policy until explicit user consent is given can build trust and ensure legal compliance. This means no tracking until the user consents.

Implementing these practices not only ensures compliance but also enhances user trust and data integrity.
