Add an Opt-out option for Google Analytics #417
Description
This can be done by saving a cookie that, if present, will prevent the GA script from execution:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript">
var ga_property = 'UA-XXXX-Y'; // Insert GA-property
var ga_disableStr = 'ga-disable-' + ga_property;
if (document.cookie.indexOf(ga_disableStr + '=true') > -1) {
window[ga_disableStr] = true;
} else {
// Execute Google Analytics Code
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', ga_property, 'auto');
ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);
ga('send', 'pageview');
}
function gaOptOut() {
document.cookie = ga_disableStr + '=true; expires=Thu, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 UTC; path=/';
window[ga_disableStr] = true;
location.reload();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:gaOptOut()">Deactivate Google Analytics</a>
</body>The link in the example above would be added to a new privacy page in the section for Google Analytics.
