Title: Using google analytics Last modified: October 14, 2021 --- # Using google analytics * Resolved [johnfotios](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnfotios/) * (@johnfotios) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-google-analytics-3/) * I have added a new cookie to the cookie list which is called _ga, I have filled in the cookie ID as _ga. I have set it to be in the Analytics category (disabled by default) * I have added my google analytics script to the section. * I can see _ga is firing anyway. How do I stop it?
