wrong usage of anonymizeIp
-
Hi,
google-analycator use a wrong implementation of anonymizeIp, which is necessary for german users.
Wrong:
ga('create', '<?php echo $uid; ?>', 'auto'); <?php if(get_option(key_ga_enhanced_link_attr) == ga_enabled): ?> ga('require', 'linkid', 'linkid.js'); <?php endif; ?> ga('send', 'pageview'); <?php if ($need_to_annon == '1' ): ?> ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true); <?php endif; ?>
Correct:
ga('create', '<?php echo $uid; ?>', 'auto'); <?php if(get_option(key_ga_enhanced_link_attr) == ga_enabled): ?> ga('require', 'linkid', 'linkid.js'); <?php endif; ?> <?php if ($need_to_annon == '1' ): ?> ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true); <?php endif; ?> ga('send', 'pageview');
Background: Google requests that IP anonymization/masking takes place as soon as data is received by the Google Analytics Collection Network, before any storage or processing takes place.
