Yes, you can delay loading Google Analytics for cookie consent in Webflow by following these steps:
- Add Google Analytics code to your Webflow project:
- In your Webflow dashboard, go to Project Settings.
- Open the Integrations tab and click on the Google Analytics option.
- Enter your Google Analytics ID or tracking code in the provided field and save the changes.
- Enable cookie consent banner:
- In the Webflow designer, open the Pages panel and click on the page where you want to add the cookie consent banner.
- Drag and drop a new HTML embed element onto your page where you want the banner to appear.
- Paste the following code into the embed element:
<script> window.addEventListener('load', function () { window.cookieconsent.initialise({ "palette": { "popup": { "background": "#000000", "text": "#ffffff" }, "button": { "background": "#f1d600" } }, "theme": "edgeless", "content": { "message": "This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website.", "dismiss": "Got it!" }, "cookie": { "expiryDays": 365 } }); // load Google Analytics var ga_script = document.createElement('script'); ga_script.src = 'https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js'; ga_script.onload = function () { ga('create', 'YOUR_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_TRACKING_ID', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); }; document.head.appendChild(ga_script); });</script>
Make sure to replace YOUR_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_TRACKING_ID
with your actual Google Analytics tracking ID or code.
- Customize cookie consent banner (optional):
- You can modify the appearance and content of the cookie consent banner by adjusting the palette and content properties in the script.
By implementing these steps, you will delay the loading of Google Analytics until after the user has given their consent to the cookie banner, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.
