 * Hi,
 * I got two questions regards ip anonymization by the plugin.
 * In the Dutch variant the 3rd option on the Question: ”Is het volgende van toepassing
   op je website?” states ”IP-adressen zijn geanonimiseerd” (IP adresses are anonymized),
   but I guess that is not entirely the right description?
 * Because this function enables the plugin to anonymize? It should then be: ”Laat
   Complianz IP adressen anonimiseren”? (enable complianz to…)
 * Furthermore, are IP adresses also anonymized after FULL consent?
 * thx

 * Hi [@bufsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bufsan/),
 * Thank you for your feedback, we will address this in a future release to clarify
   what the option does.
 * If you select the option “IP addresses are anonymized” (and when Complianz places
   the statistics tool on your site), the plugin will ensure that IP addresses are
   anonymized by default.
 * Complianz will anonymize the final digits of the IP address so that you can only
   see the country, but not more specific, such as the city. But we don’t change
   the status of the IP after obtaining consent, it is always anonymized. If we 
   have to “undo” this, it would result in a different userID, thus the data could
   not match up in certain cases.
 * Hope it helps!
    Kind regards, Jarno

 * Hoi [@bufsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bufsan/),
 * If you verify that you have completed the steps as mentioned in our article [“Configure Google Analytics 4 for GDPR”](https://complianz.io/configure-google-analytics-4-for-gdpr/),
   this setup would be correct/considered GDPR-friendly in the Netherlands.
 * Hope this helps!
    Kind regards, Jarno
