Phew! It was a busy January and the year was just getting started...

We will be sharing the February changelog rollup 🌯 in just a couple of weeks. Look out for these posts towards the start of each month. We published our February rollup in time for Valentine's Day because we always love to read your comments in the discussion below β€” a little gift to ourselves. 😍

Until next time!

For those of you who don't want to use Google Analytics, we also disabled the JavaScript for GA when Admins leave the input box blank for View ID under /admin/customization/config > Google Analytics

Oooh good point ! With GDPR compliance on France, Google Analytics isn't legal.

That "change" in how GDPR is being enforced along with a Creator request is the reason we made this update. If you did not have the GA ID populated, it wasn't actively working but the JavaScript was still loading. Now we don't load the JavaScript at all so you can be confident of your compliance.
