{eac}Doojigger SimpleGTM is an
{eac}Doojigger extension that installs the Google Tag Manager (GTM) or Google Analytics (GA4) script, sets default consent options, and enables tracking of page views, site searches, content views, and, when using
WooCommerce, e-commerce actions.
{eac}SimpleGTM is a very light-weight and simple extension that uses PHP to add small JavaScript snippets to your web pages for configuring and tracking with Google Analytics. Many web site owners will find this more than sufficient over more complicated (and over-bearing) alternatives.
Default Consent (advanced)
The selected consent attributes are set to 'granted' before other tags are loaded or actions taken. This does not make your site GDPR/CCPA compliant and should not be used in place of a Consent Management Platform (CMP). See Google's
Introduction to user consent. This is typically not necessary and not recommended when using a CMP.
If no consent attributes are selected than the "consent default" configuration is not sent, otherwise, unselected attributes are set to "denied".
Default consent settings passed when initializing GTM or GA4:
ad_storage
analytics_storage
ad_user_data
ad_personalization
functionality_storage
personalization_storage
security_storage
Consent Options (advanced)
When consent attributes
ad_storage
and/or
analytics_storage
are set to
denied
, pass information about ad clicks or analytics through URL parameters.
Allows session data that Google associates with users who have signed in to their Google accounts, and who have turned on Ads Personalization.
When ads_data_redaction is true and
ad_storage
is
denied
, ad click identifiers sent in network requests by Google Ads and Floodlight tags will be redacted. Network requests will also be sent through a cookieless domain.
Send Event Tags
When to send events to the browser.
In Page Footer sends events in the page footer as the page loads.
On Document Load sends events as soon as the document is loaded but before the browser renders the page.
On Window Ready waits for the page to be rendered (this may be helpful with late-loading CMP plugins).
Events To Track
Custom events are simple events with limited data that use Google's recommended names and attributes
See Recommended events:
Tag Manager
Google Tag
- Page Views
page_view {page_title, page_location, page_referrer, user_agent, page_encoding, language}
- Site Search
search {search_term}
- View Content (category, tag, term)
select_content {content_type, content_id}
- View Archive (archive, author, date)
select_content {content_type, content_id}
- E-Commerce
view_item_list {item_list_id, item_list_name}
view_item {currency, value, items}
view_cart {currency, value, items}
begin_checkout {currency, value, coupon, discount, items}
purchase {transaction_id, currency, value, coupon, discount, shipping, tax, items}
- items = {item_id, item_name, price, discount, quantity, item_variant, item_category}
- Cart Actions
select_promotion {promotion_id, promotion_name}
add_to_cart {currency, value, items}
remove_from_cart {currency, value, items}
update_cart_item {currency, value, items}
- items = {item_id, item_name, price, discount, quantity, item_variant, item_category}
- Enhanced Conversions
- Enhanced Conversions for web is a feature that can improve the accuracy of your conversion measurement. It supplements your existing conversion tags by sending hashed first-party conversion data from your website in a privacy safe way.
- Page Not Found
page_not_found {request_uri}
* Session storage is used when cart actions are triggered. This requires enabling/setting {eac}Doojigger → Session Extension.
* Page Views are typically included in your tag container, other tags & triggers may need to be configured in
Google Tag Manager.
* If enabled, WP Consent API may block events (when 'statistics-anonymous' consent is denied) and Enhanced Conversions (when 'statistics' consent is denied).
