Follow this steps to add Analytics in AMP
First go to WordPress Admin Area -> AMP option panel -> Settings -> Analytics.
In Analytics Type Option you can use Google Analytics or any other Analytics of your choice.
- Google Analytics: When you enable Google Analytics, you must enter your Google Tracking ID. Pasting Scripts are not allowed. Even if you use other Analytics, make sure you Enter tracking ID but not the Script. If you paste any script in analytics, it will lead you to errors. Once disable Advanced Google Analytics and you save Tracking id option output will be checked into source code it will be shown below the footer area.
- IP Anonymization: Allow website owners to request that all of their users’ IP addresses are anonymized within the product. This feature is designed to help site owners comply with their own privacy policies.
- For example, if a website visitor has a public IP of 12.214.31.144 then as soon as the IP data is received by the Analytics Collection Network, Google will anonymize/mask the IP to 12.214.31.0.
- It is important to remember that IP anonymization occurs before any data storage or processing takes place. So Google does not store or process complete IP addresses at any given time.
- AMP Linker: AMP Linker is a new feature in AMP that helps keep user session in sync. It works by decorating outgoing links from AMP cache with params such as AMP Client ID in a URL parameter. On the receiving side, your analytics provider consumes the parameter and writes it down as a first-party cookie for more details Click Here.
- Advanced Google Analytics: If you enable this option you can Enter your Advanced Analytics code here inside this code you have to write account number for ex :(“account”: “UA-xxxxxxx-x”).

What is IP Anonymisation for?
Hi Bridie,

For example, if a website visitor has a public IP of 12.214.31.144 then as soon as the IP data is received by the Analytics Collection Network, Google will anonymize/mask the IP to 12.214.31.0.
