    Hello,
    I installed and configured the plugin according to the user guide.
    The site uses the Google Analytics for WooCommerce plugin, and its blocking is active in the Integrations -> Extents section.
    But when I check the devtools application console, the GA (Google Analytics) cookies always appear.
    In the Assistant -> Consent -> Statistics section, I use the GTM option, which prevents GTM scripts on the site through the Header Footer Code Manager plugin. So, there are no GTM cookies in the devtools console.
    How do I block GA cookies from the Google Analytics for WooCommerce plugin?
    Thank you.

    Hello @sandroquantic ,

    Thank you for reaching out and for the clear explanation.

    Complianz can only block one method of implementing statistics at a time via the Wizard. Since you’re using an integration for GA, the best approach is to block Google Analytics directly in Wizard → Consent → Statistics configuration.

    Because you’re adding GTM manually via the HFCM you can also block it by using script tags as described in this guide: https://complianz.io/how-to-set-google-tag-manager-after-consent-and-is-it-needed. This way, both Google Analytics and GTM will be blocked until statistics consent is given.

    I tested this exact setup locally and can confirm it works. Just make sure to save your options in the Wizard after making these changes.

    Best regards,
    Antonio

    Hello

    I’m using the free version of the Compliance plugin. In the Consent -> Statistics section, I couldn’t find the option to manage script tags. Is this only available in the premium version?

    Hello @sandroquantic,

    It’s available in both versions. Since you have the Google Analytics for WooCommerce integration active in Complianz, the Statistics configuration section that manages the tags is partially hidden, this is intentional to prevent a double implementation.

    All you need to do is select “Yes, with Google Analytics” under Wizard > Consent > Statistics > Do you compile statistics of this website?. Once that’s done, you’re all set regarding GA. For GTM, please follow the steps I mentioned in my earlier suggestion.

    I hope this clarifies things.

    Best regards,
    Antonio

    Hi Antonio

    Complianz doesn’t show me the option:
    Do you want Complianz to add Google Tar Manager to your website ?

    How do I show this option?

    Thanks

    Hello @sandroquantic ,

    In this case, since you’re embedding Google Analytics for WooCommerce with Complianz, you can skip that step and move directly to the second one. That will cover your setup and ensure everything is blocked prior to consent.

    Hello Antonio

    I tested the option and I always see GA cookies in the browser console, can you send me a screenshot of the configuration you tested so I can see if I did everything correctly?

    Thanks

    Hello @sandroquantic ,

    No problem at all, I actually made a quick video instead. In it, you can first see the setup with GA for WooCommerce (in Complian as well), and then GTM added through a plugin that allows inserting snippets.

    As you’ll notice, before consent the cookies are not present, but right after consent they appear correctly.

    Best regards,
    Antonio
