2. UNIVERSAL GOOGLE ANALYTICS
WILL SUNSET ON JULY 1, 2023
Google’s Universal Analytics (UA) will stop collecting data on July 1st, 2023. For six months
after that date, we’ll still have access to historical data in UA. Then, that data will be gone,
too. After that, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) will be the default platform.

Editor's Notes
Consent mode lets you communicate your users’ cookie or app identifier consent status to Google. Tags adjust their behavior and respect users’ choices.
Consent mode interacts with our Consent Management Platform (CMP) or custom implementation for obtaining visitor consent, such as a cookie consent banner. Consent mode receives your users' consent choices from your cookie banner or widget and dynamically adapts the behavior of Analytics, Ads, and third-party tags that create or read cookies.
When visitors deny consent, instead of storing cookies, tags send pings to Google. If you are using Google Analytics 4, Google fills the data collection gaps with conversion modeling and behavioral modeling.
