How it Works

To get started after install, create new Application (for internal or external scripts, images or stylesheets…) under Klaro Consent Manager / Add New. Enter script name and description, for example name it "Google Analytics" and enter description "Google Analytics is a freemium web analytics service offered by Google". Set purpose to "Analytics" . Publish Application than scroll at the bottom of the newly created App and copy code generated by the plugin. Code should look something like this:

<script type="opt-in" data-type="application/javascript" data-name="google-analytics">

// Your Google Analytics Code, all except script tags which we replace with this one…

</script> 

So in your google analytics code leave your external script as it is and change only internal script, with the code you copied above. You should get something like this:

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX-X”></script>

<script type="opt-in" data-type="application/javascript" data-name="google-analytics">

  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X’);

</script>
