    I want to know – with absolute certainty because of the possible fines coming up – that if I use analytics and set ‘anonymize IP address’ – that visitors are not possible to identify by any means from the data collected by Google.
    (if not – it is not possible to use analytics within EU law)

    is there anything else to do when you would like to have statistics but legally.

  • Hi,

    Please note if this option is enabled, the last digits of users’ IP addresses will be hidden. Their full IP will not be visible, and thus the visitors will be anonymized.

    Thanks. Have a nice day.

    hidden is not the same as deleted – which means that you (or others) can reassemble and trace back to idenfify user. which is not legal with the GDPR – anonymized to me, but only pseudonomized to you – and that’s not enough. they worry about what you know just as much as what I know.

    Hi,

    Please note that while the setting is active the Google is not authorizing the IP (such a request is being sent to Google). This is not related to the plugin, Please see here.

    Thanks. Have a nice day.
