Analytics and Consent Integration for Joomla.

Welcome to Google Consent Mode v2 and its integration with Eorisis Analytics and Consent Joomla extensions. These latest updates empower your Joomla website to manage user consent efficiently, ensuring compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations while optimizing your site's analytics for GA4/Google Tag and Google Tag Manager.

Consent mode lets you communicate your users' cookie or app identifier consent status to Google. Tags adjust their behavior and respect users' choices. Consent mode receives your users' consent choices from your Consent banner and dynamically adapts the behavior of Analytics, Ads, and third-party tags that create or read cookies.

Note: This solution is fully hosted on your server, ensuring complete control and privacy. You connect directly to your Google accounts, without relying on any third-party SaaS services.

Key Configuration Options:

• Analytics Storage: Enables storage (such as cookies) related to analytics e.g. visit duration.
• Security Storage: Enables storage related to security such as authentication functionality, fraud prevention, and other user protection.
• Functionality Storage: Enables storage that supports the functionality of the website or app e.g. language settings.
• Personalization Storage: Enables storage related to personalization e.g. video recommendations.
• Ad User Data: Sets consent for sending user data related to advertising to Google.
• Ad Personalization: Sets consent for personalized advertising.
• Ad Storage: Enables storage (such as cookies) related to advertising.

Exclusive Measurement and Privacy Features:

• Geotargeting: Utilize Traffic Filters (requires Cloudflare).
• Retain Cookies: Choose to retain or delete cookies based on user consent.
• Retain Code: Opt to keep the tracking code on the page (or not) depending on user consent.

Enhance your websites and user trust.

The lastest updates that have been released on October 19, 2022 on all Joomla extensions and WordPress plugins, ensure compatibility with the upcoming Joomla 5 and 4.3, as well as the upcoming version of PHP 8.2. This allows you to upgrade your server versions of Joomla and PHP without fear. Note that the minimum PHP version for Joomla 5 is 7.2.5.

Eorisis extensions are hybrid, so you do not need to uninstall or reinstall any Eorisis extension when upgrading from Joomla 3x to 4 or 5, assuming they are up-to-date. TIP: When upgrading to Joomla 5 or 4 from earlier Joomla versions, increase the Session Lifetime (in Joomla configuration), as the update can take a long time on some systems.

I am proud to let you know that all Eorisis extensions are Joomla 4 compatible and ready to use. Joomla 4 was released on August 17, 2021. The first Eorisis update covering Joomla 4 compatibility was released in 2017 (November 22), followed by numerous updates and continuous development to date.

Of course this is not going to stop.

Joomla 4 developers made constant changes to the core. Staying up-to-date with the latest Alpha, Beta and RC versions required constant changes to the extensions.

Eorisis extensions are hybrid, so you do not need to uninstall or reinstall any Eorisis extension when upgrading from Joomla 2x or 3x to 4, assuming they are up-to-date. One tip I could give when upgrading to Joomla 4, would be to increase the Session Lifetime (in Joomla configuration), as the update can take a long time on some systems.

We love progress and we are ready.
Your feedback is welcome, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact support.
Stay safe and enjoy Joomla 4.
