Google Analytics

Your Drupal website managed by University Communications contains a Google Analytics tracking code. You can use Google Analytics to help you understand your users and better evaluate your website, email, and social media performance.

Note: Google retired Universal Analytics (UA) on July 1, 2023. The current version of Google Analytics is Google Analytics 4 (GA4).

Getting Access

If you would like access to your Google Analytics data and don’t already have permissions, have your site owner submit a request for support and specify which website you should be granted analytics access to, as well as the Google account you would like to add to the analytics account. If your uoregon.edu email is not a Google account, make a Google account using your uoregon.edu email address.

Logging In

Once you have permissions for your Google Analytics account, you can log in at analytics.google.com and/or download the apps from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iOS) to view your analytics data. If we manage your analytics accounts, both older Universal Analytics and newer GA4 accounts should have your site's name for the account. The GA4 analytics will have - GA4 at the end to allow you to differentiate between the two types of accounts.
