What is Google Tag Manager?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGoogle Tag Manager is a tool that helps website owners manage and control various tracking codes and scripts on their website. It simplifies the process of adding and updating code snippets, such as tracking pixels, analytics tags, or advertising tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is a tag?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA tag is a small piece of code that is placed on the pages of your website to collect valuable information about what actions your visitors are taking. The information gathered by the tag is then sent to tools like Google Analytics, to help you understand your visitors\u2019 behaviour and make informed decisions for your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to add a new Tag<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn this example, we will setup a tag for Google Analytics 4 tracking, but you can follow the same process for any tag that you might need to use on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, log in to your Google Tag Manager dashboard and click \u2018Add a new tag\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Google-Tag-Manager-dashboard.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nClick on the Tag configuration window<\/strong> as seen in the image below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tag-configuration-1024x601.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSelect the tag you want to setup. For this example, we are adding Google Analytics: GA4 Configuration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Google-Analytics-4-1024x967.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nConfigure the tag<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYou will now need to enter the necessary details into the Tag Configuration screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this example we need to add the Measurement ID<\/strong> (e.g, G-A2ABC2ABCD) for our GA4 property (available once you have setup your website in Google Analytics<\/a>), then we click the blue \u2018Save\u2019 button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Configure-the-tag-1024x568.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAdding triggers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow that we have setup the tag, we must set these triggers that will allow the tag to activate and the visitor\u2019s activities on our site to be tracked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
iubenda_consent_given \niubenda_preference_not_needed\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nAdvanced Setup:<\/strong> If you\u2019ve enabled the per-category consent feature on your Privacy Controls and Cookie Solution, instead of the iubenda_consent_given<\/em> event, you\u2019ll have to create a custom event for each purpose you display on your cookie banner\/policy (with the exception of the \u201cNecessary\u201d purpose). More information on setting those triggers up can be found here<\/a>.
If you\u2019re implementing Google Consent Mode, skip this step and jump to the installation guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdd the iubenda_consent_given<\/em> trigger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nClick on the \u201cTriggering\u201d<\/strong> section below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/consent-given.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThen click on the little plus sign<\/strong> on the top right to add a new Trigger. Now, in the trigger configuration window, select Custom Event<\/strong> (quick note here: please be sure NOT to select \u201cAll Pages\u201d as a trigger).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/trigger-type.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor event name please input the following value: iubenda_consent_given<\/em>. This will activate the trigger on All Custom Events labelled Consent Given.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSave the trigger by clicking on \u2018Save<\/strong>\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/save-trigger-1024x373.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAdd the iubenda_preference_not_needed<\/em> trigger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFollow the same steps to create another trigger called iubenda_preference_not_needed<\/em>, that fires whenever a preference is not needed (for example when GDPR does not apply or the user is based outside the EU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/consent-not-needed-1024x378.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNote:<\/strong> If the CCPA applies to you, you will need to add an exception rule, to disable the relevant cookies when the user opts out. More information on setting up that trigger can be found here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nNow that the triggers have been added, your Google Analytics: GA4 Configuration tag will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-1024x480.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nClick on \u2018Save\u2019<\/strong> to save the new tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe previous example assumes that you\u2019re firing the tag on all pages of your site, if you\u2019d like to have a tag fire on just one page (eg. Shopping Cart page) see the advanced section here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSummary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow that you have completed all the steps in this guide, you have setup Prior Blocking and created a tag for Google Analytics 4, that will only activate when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
