Google Analytics at York

Switch to Google Analytics 4

As Google recently announced, they will be discontinuing Universal Analytics on July 1, 2023. Until this date, you can continue to use and collect new data in your Universal Analytics properties. After July 1, 2023, you’ll be able to access your previously processed data in your Universal Analytics property for six months.

We have provided instructions on how to smoothly transition your site’s analytics from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4, as well as how to back up your current analytics data for future reference.
