To make Google Analytics respond to "do not track" requests, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account and go to the Admin section.
  2. In the Property settings, click on Tracking Info and then Data Collection.
  3. Toggle on the option for "Respect user's 'Do Not Track' preferences" to enable Google Analytics to respect users' privacy settings.
  4. Save your changes and make sure to update your website's privacy policy to inform users about how their data is being collected and used.
  5. Test the setting by enabling the "Do Not Track" option in your browser and visit your website to see if Google Analytics respects the request.


By enabling this setting, Google Analytics will honor the "Do Not Track" header sent by the user's browser and will not track their data.
