Modify Google Analytics Script To Only Cookie U.S. Sessions

[FitzSWC]

I know I can filter sessions from outside the US, but is there a way to modify the GA script so that it doesn't cookie visitors to a site if they are from outside the US?

Note, this is separate from having a cookie consent opt-in.

Thanks in advance,

I'm running  a game blog and hosted on Wordpress. I'm also facing the same analytics problem. Check out my website stat.

Hey, thanks for the response. Legal department wants to eliminate all tracking of EU visitors to their US site (i.e. no Google Analytics cookies/tracking). They already have GDPR and cookie consent implemented, but as far as legal is concerned they want no risks so they wanted to know if GA could be altered to not track site visitors from the EU while still tracking all other site visitors.

Since they don't want to block visitors from the EU from being able to visit the site and I'm not aware of a way to tell GA not to cookie visitors from specific locations, I thought I would ask if there was a way. Right now best solution I have is to redirect EU visitors to a newly created landing page (or microsite) which doesn't contain GA script. That way they can still learn about services, but there is no risk of GA tracking and they can't hit the main site where tracking is enabled.

Any better ideas are welcomed.

As the question is interesting, I went to search and I did not find anything that explains hoot legitimately modify the GA tracking script. May I ask you why do you want the script to not cookie non-US visitors to your website?
