Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors find and use [website name]. Google Analytics may collect information about pages visited, links clicked, time spent on pages, referring websites, browser type, device type, approximate location, and other usage information.

Cookies and similar technologies

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to measure visits, sessions, returning visitors, and interactions with our website. Where required, analytics cookies are controlled by our cookie banner or preference settings. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Purpose of analytics

We use analytics information to improve our content, understand which pages are useful, troubleshoot technical issues, measure website performance, and make better decisions about the website. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment details, or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics.

Google processing

Google may process analytics information on our behalf and may also use information from sites and apps that use Google services according to Google's own privacy and service terms. You can learn more from Google's explanation of how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services.

Visitor choices

You can limit analytics collection by disabling cookies in your browser, changing any cookie choices available on our site, using private browsing settings, or using available Google Analytics opt-out tools. Some analytics features may not work correctly when cookies or similar technologies are blocked.

Match the wording to your Analytics setup

A sample privacy policy for Google Analytics should not pretend every site runs the same tag configuration. Choose the version that fits the features you actually use.

GA4 only

Keep the wording focused on page views, events, device details, traffic sources, approximate location, cookies, and site improvement.

GA4 with consent mode

Add whether analytics storage, ad storage, or region-specific measurement behavior changes based on consent choices.

GA4 with Google Ads

Mention advertising links, conversion measurement, remarketing, personalized ads, or ad cookies if those features are active.

Blog or publisher site

Combine Analytics wording with disclosures for comments, email newsletters, display ads, affiliate links, embeds, and sponsored content.

Before you publish

Replace [website name] and [privacy contact email] before publishing.

Remove cookie or consent wording if the site genuinely does not use those features.

Add Google Ads, AdSense, ecommerce event, or remarketing language when those tools are connected.

Review URLs, form fields, user IDs, event names, and custom dimensions so directly identifying information is not sent to Analytics.

Link the finished privacy policy from the footer, cookie banner, app settings, account pages, and any forms that collect personal information.

Update the policy when analytics tags, consent settings, ad integrations, or data collection practices change.

Google Analytics privacy policy template FAQ

Use these answers to adapt the free template without making the most common Analytics disclosure mistakes.

Can I copy this Google Analytics privacy policy template for free?

Yes. You can use this sample wording as a starting point, replace the placeholders, remove language that does not match your setup, and add the rest of your website privacy disclosures before publishing.

What does Google require Analytics users to disclose?

Google says sites and apps using Google Analytics must disclose the use of Google Analytics and explain how it collects and processes data. The privacy policy should name Google Analytics directly and describe the practical categories of analytics data involved.

Is a Google Analytics clause enough for my whole privacy policy?

Usually no. The clause only covers analytics. If the same site collects contact form submissions, newsletter emails, account data, payments, advertising cookies, affiliate tracking, or comments, those practices need their own privacy policy sections.

Should the template mention cookies?

Yes if your Google Analytics setup uses cookies or similar technologies. The policy should explain analytics cookies, any consent or preference controls, and the visitor choices available on your site.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is an informational template. Regulated industries, sensitive data, children, healthcare, finance, international operations, and complex consent setups should be reviewed by a qualified attorney.

Use the page that matches the rest of your compliance gap. Analytics language belongs inside a complete privacy policy, and cookie, ad, and blog disclosures may need their own supporting pages.
