Google analytics cookies and data protection act

Hi,

one client asked me to check conformance to data protection regulations that has EU.

i found this article http://www.iitr.us/hamburg-data-protection-authority-data-protection-conforming-use-of-google-analytics.html

is there easy way to add to the GA code the “_anonymizeIp()" code?

Also for long term perspective I would suggest to add some cookie disclaimer popup like on this site http://bt.co.uk/ or something similar. Now Mojoportal implements checkbox and license agreement when user registers and it covers most data protection regulations but so far we have anonymous visitors that need to be covered to according the new regulations.

Regards,

Victor

Hi Victor,

I added support for this yesterday, it is in the repository now so it will be in the next release. You can add an attribute like this to enable it:

<portal:AnalyticsAsyncTopScript id="analyticsTop" runat="server" AnonymizeIp="true" />

Note also that even without this setting (ie in the current release of mojoPortal) you could directly add the needed script in layout.master by adding this somehwere inside the form below the top analytics control:

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Thank you.
