# How to track website behavior?

The Bpart platform provides you with analytics on users that register themselves:
*   Profile information    
*   Posting entries, ideas or comments    
*   Liking or voting behavior    

In order to analyse website behavior, Bpart allows you to establish a **connection with Google Analytics**. This integration allows you to track which pages are visited, when, via which device ...

### Does this track all visitors?

**No,** when activated, a website visitor can accept or refuse tracking via the well-known pop-up.

### Do I have to use Google Analytics?

No, it is not mandatory. There are three options:

*   You do not wish to use Google Analytics. Please note: the information you collect is limited to people who actively participate (registration, comments ...), you have no information about the number of visitors who simply inform themselves.    
*   You set up a Google Analytics tracking or measurement-ID (Google Analytics 4) and link it with your Bpart project.    
*   A partner sets up a GA environment for you, and provides you or us with a Google Analytics measurement-ID. The data is then entered into the partner's environment, which you can access.
    
## What do I need to implement Google Analytics?

### Step 1: a Google Analytics 4 environment

You can either create one yourself (free of charge) or get access to an existing one by using a Google Account. If you have questions on using a Google Analytics environment or account, it is best to contact your internal communication or ICT team.

### Step 2: create the measurement ID

You need a Google measurement-ID. You can recognise the GA4 measurement-ID by its structure: G-xxxxxx.

**Please note:** Older UA codes or tracking IDs will no longer generate new data as of 1 July 2023.

The measurement-ID can be retrieved from the Data Streams section (in the Admin menu). Open the stream you want to use and copy the measurement-ID. In the three images below you can see the steps you need to take.

### Step 3: link the G-id to your Bpart organisation

You add the Google Analytics tag to your organisation settings. By doing so, all projects will automatically be tracked.

* 1: go to your organisation dashboard
* 2: input your tag, it usually starts with G-
* 3: hit save

 If you wish to differentiate your key or setting per project, do not use organisation settings but manage the tag on project level via project settings.
