AMP Session Stitching - How to deal with Google's Client ID AMP Policy
-
Hello,
I recently attended SMX East and the concept of 'session stitching' for AMP was brought up (https://www.stonetemple.com/amp-tech-guide/). I reached out to my development team and they told me they could do it, but that we would need to agree to the new TOS changes and making users aware of then... https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7486055
Has anyone here done something like this? And if so how did you deal with the Google's Client ID AMP policy?
Thank you all!

I just found this by accident ... Looking at the policy, for purposes of the US, disclosing the use of the client ID to combine your sessions that start with AMP sessions in the Google cache with sessions that continue on your main site, requires only that you disclose that in your privacy policy.
The EU issue is the trickier one I think, and I'm no lawyer, and can't therefore give legal advice. What I've noticed though, is that lots of sites now put a message on the bottom of the browser window telling you something like "By using this site you are consenting to the use of cookies" or something along those lines. I wonder if they are doing that to meet the spirit of the EU regulations? I'd be interested to see if you learned anything since you posted the question above.

Referral issue in Google analytics
We have an eCommerce website that counts paypal as a referral source in Analytics. The site takes people to Paypal to make a payment and then back to the website to a Thank You page once that payment has been made. Due to this, Analytics sees this as a conversion that has come from Paypal, and also records it as a referral source, when we know this is not really the case. This also distorts the data in analytics and prohibits us from clearly seeing which channels sales have come from. Is there anyway in Analytics to include Paypal as a part of the website so that it does not record Paypal as a separate referral website?

Google Analytics Landing Page Report Discrepancy
I have noticed that when I run a landing page report and use the advanced option so I can view only the landing pages that include a particular string in the URL, have noticed that I in the report, the graph at the top will say one thing, but the data below says something else. For example, the graph for one particular search shows 200 Impressions, but the info below says 700 impressions and 610 clicks. Anyone seen anything similar or have any ideas why? Thanks! Craig

Google Analytics to sub domains
Hi, I have a site xyz.com and two separate sites on sub domains xyz.com/abc and xyz.com/def. What's the best way to go about with GA such that I can get all the data in the same place. Should I use the GA code for xyz.com on sub domains as well? Or should I create separate profiles?

What's the difference between landing pages and entrance pages on Google Analytics?
I'm confused about the difference between entrance pages and landing pages on Google Analytics. If I compare our search traffic to entrance pages with search traffic to landing pages it seems very similar -- but not identical. But this is probably because all of our GA analytics is sampled (we're a huge site). Can anyone help?
