Introducing the next generation of analytics, Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
What is GA4?
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is the new version of Google Analytics, replacing Universal Analytics. Google Analytics 4 is a tool designed to meet your future measurement and reporting requirements. This new tool is separately accessible from your current Universal Analytics access.
Although this means a change of platform, the new platform has an updated interface with a much improved and more user-friendly design. The new interface presents a cleaner and more modern look, with a focus on providing users with easy access to key metrics and insights.
Why should you move to GA4?
New data will only flow into GA4 properties after the changeover date
- On July 1, 2023, standard Universal Analytics properties will no longer process data. You’ll still be able to see your older Universal Analytics reports for a period of time after July 1, 2023.
It’s the next generation of Analytics
- GA4 is designed to meet your future measurement and reporting requirements. Includes privacy controls such as cookieless measurement, and behavioural and conversion modelling.
Gain predictive capabilities
- GA4 also offers new predictive capabilities that can help you anticipate future user behaviour and trends. These predictive features are powered by Google’s machine learning technology and can provide valuable insights into user behaviour that you may not have otherwise noticed.
EU-focused data and privacy
- Analytics drops any IP addresses that it collects from EU users before logging that data via EU domains and servers. This provides more granular data controls to help users comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR. More information here.
