How do I connect Google Analytics?

New Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration: Starting 1 July 2023, Google Analytics 4 will fully replace Universal Analytics. We advise all websites using the Universal Tracking ID to connect the new Measurement ID (GA4) before the 1 July 2023 for continuous website tracking.

Once you have obtained your new Measurement ID, please follow the instructions on this article to connect it to your website.

If you need to migrate your account to the new GA4 account, please go directly to your Google Analytics account, and follow the instructions from the following Google’s Help article here: Make the switch to Google Analytics (GA4).

Requirements

  • You have a premium plan for your Creator website. Only paid plans have access to the Google Analytics feature.
  • You have a Google Analytics account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create a free account here.

 

Getting your Measurement ID

In order to connect your Google Analytics account to your Creator website, first you need to obtain your Measurement ID. To do so, please follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account
  2. Click on Admin on the left corner
  3. Select your Account and go to Property
  4. Click on Data Streams and then on Web
  5. Click on your website’s name. The Measurement ID will appear in the top right corner
  6. Copy the Measurement ID
Note: your Measurement ID needs to start with G- followed by a combination of 10 characters (numbers and letters). Your Measurement ID should have the following format: G-XXXXXXXXXX

 

Integrating your Measurement ID into your Creator website

  1. Log in to your Jimdo website
  2. Click on Menu and then on SEO > Settings > Google Analytics
  3. Insert your Measurement ID into the empty field.
  4. Save the changes

You should be able to see the first results in your Google Analytics account after around 24 hours.

 

Info on data protection

If you use our function to connect your own Google Analytics codes to your Jimdo Creator website (which you can find under SEO > Settings > Google Analytics) then a data-protection-conform use of Google Analytics is almost entirely ensured. The _anonymizeIp() is automatically used and a note about Google Analytics will be placed in the privacy policy of your website.

In order to ensure an extensive, data-protection-conform use of Google Analytics, it is however necessary to sign a data processing contract with Google. You can find out more information about this here.
