What is GA4 and what do tracking codes do?
GA4 is the latest version of Google Analytics. A GA4 tracking code is a small piece of code that you add to a site to help you track and understand how visitors use the site.
Integrating your code with Finalsite Enrollment allows you to gain more robust data on your family's journey. Additionally, for clients who also use a Composer site with Finalsite (CMS), the same code can be utilized to provide a comprehensive tracking experience across the entire family journey.
Tracking Consent
We highly recommend adding a cookie consent manager, like Termly, when adding GA4 tracking to your site.
Consent with a software like Termly is usually achieved via an automatic pop-up that appears on a webpage, informing users of how their personal information will or will not be saved and used on that site. Users can click through a consent confirmation to indicate that they want to continue using the site.

Whose data does GA4 track?
GA4 data specifically tracks parent activity. Admin account activities, including when impersonating a parent, are not tracked to ensure more accurate and precise data.
How to add your GA4 code to your site
You can enter your GA4 code at the bottom of the Parent Portal Content page (Settings > Portal > Parent Portal Content), in the Analytics section.
