Google Analytics is no longer just an analysis tool, but rather a data activation center and basis for all data-driven, targeted, cross-channel and cross-funnel marketing. The advantages of GA:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reporting &amp; Insights<\/li>\n<li>Raw data in real time -&gt; AI &amp; DWH<\/li>\n<li>Predictions, Clustering &amp; Real-time personalization<\/li>\n<li>Audiences for targeting<\/li>\n<li>Enrichment with CRM, expansion to CDP<\/li>\n<li>Activation in email, social, offsite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/im0ZZDQmsEY<\/p>\n<p>Siegfried Stepke at the DMV&Ouml; Online Talk on the advantages of Google Analytics<\/p>\n<h2>How can Google Analytics be used in compliance with data protection regulations?<\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/DUbg-sGYVl0<\/p>\n<p>At the DMV&Ouml; Online Talk, Siegfried Stepke shows the most important steps for using Google Analytics in compliance with data protection regulations<\/p>\n<h3>1. Adhere to the legal framework!<\/h3>\n<p>Google has adapted the &ldquo;Google Data Processing Terms for all Google Products&rdquo; to reflect the new versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC). Accept the new Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and thus Google&rsquo;s order processing agreement in the Google Analytics settings.<\/p>\n<p>Also create a Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA). The aim of this analysis is to assess the risk for data transfers. The obligation to do so arises from the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries.<\/p>\n<p>Please also point out possible data transfer to third countries in your data protection regulations and update them accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Get consent &ndash; in advance!<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure that you obtain the consent of your website visitors in advance. This means that you can only fire Google Analytics once you have received your consent and can also save and access it.<\/p>\n<p>We also recommend that you include a reference to a possible data transfer directly in the banner text and obtain explicit consent for data transfer to a third country.<\/p>\n<p>One<a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-dialog.group\/wissen\/consent-management\/\">Consent management platform<\/a>(CMP) facilitates this process.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Make sure Google Analytics is configured correctly<\/h3>\n<p>During your setup, make sure that no personal data\/PIIs are included in Analytics and that you make use of features such as IP anonymization.<\/p>\n<p>We would be happy to support you in this regard, offer personal GA audits and support you in the optimal implementation of analytics, so that your web analysis tool can continue to be used worry-free and, above all, in compliance with data protection regulations.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Switch to server-side tracking<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking is not only a suitable solution for increasing the lifespan of 1st-party cookies and bypassing some tracking blockers, but it also offers options for adapting the data before it is sent to Google Analytics. In concrete terms, this means that, for example, you completely remove the user&rsquo;s IP addresses before sending the data to Google Analytics.<\/p>\n<p>At the DMV&Ouml; Online Talk, Kristina Niederer and Siegfried Stepke provide information about the possibilities for using Google Analytics in a data protection-compliant manner and go into server-side tracking in detail:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Warum Serverseitiges Tracking - e-dialog DMV&Ouml; Talk 2022\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/knQ7f_j1q10?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Advantages of using server-side tracking<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wie funktioniert Serverseitiges Tracking - e-dialog DMV&Ouml; Talk 2022\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w978mdj-aUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>How does server-side tracking work?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Datenschutz &amp; Serverseitiges Tracking - e-dialog DMV&Ouml; Talk 2022\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cX6koai4vDI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Serverside tracking and data protection<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>With these measures you can use Google Analytics in a legally compliant manner.* Pay attention to the legal framework, the legally compliant obtaining of user consent, the correct tracking setup and use server-side tracking.<\/p>\n<h3>Check compliance now!<\/h3>\n<p>With the conformity check we offer a check of your Google Analytics implementation.
