Opt-Out for Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress

The current Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress integrates no Opt-Out to disable tracking, which is required in Europe. Here is a workaround for that.

Paste this into your theme function.php.

if ( !is_user_logged_in() &&  class_exists('GADWP_Manager') ) {

 add_action('wp_head', 'ga_optout_script', 1);

}
 

function ga_optout_script(){

 // Read GA Dashboard Settings

 $options =  (array) json_decode(get_option('gadash_options'));

 
 // Get GA Dashboard profiles

 foreach($options['ga_dash_profile_list'] as $profile){

  $ga_ua_profile[$profile[1]] = $profile[2];

 }      
 
 // Get active Analytics profile for the current website

 $active = $options['ga_dash_tableid_jail'];

 $activeUA = $ga_ua_profile[$active];

 
 // Add opt-out script + active UA

 echo "<script>          


 var gaProperty = '".$activeUA."'; 

                        
 var disableStr = 'ga-disable-' + gaProperty;
 
 if (document.cookie.indexOf(disableStr + '=true') > -1) {
  window[disableStr] = true; 
 }                      
 
 function gaOptout() {
  document.cookie = disableStr + '=true; expires=Thu, 31 Dec 2099 23:59:59 UTC; path=/';
  window[disableStr] = true;
 }

 </script>";

}

Then add this to your data privacy document:

<a href="javascript:gaOptout()">Disable Google Analytics tracking</a>
