Google Analytics is an analytic service provided by Google to track and report website traffic on your Stacks site. Google Analytics can help site administrators understand how users interact with your site. You must have a Google Analytics account for your organization.
Effective July 1, 2023, Google has discontinued the processing of usage data from sites using a Universal Analytics web property ID. To ensure the uninterrupted collection of site usage data, it is essential to update your site with a new Google Analytics 4 property ID. Failure to do so will result in the loss of site usage data.
