AdWords & Analytics Cookie Errors

Despite enabling Samesite flags per this documentation, we’re still seeing errors from sites including “adwords.google.com,” and “analytics.google.com.”

According to the documentation & warning messages we’ve received, we believe the Samesite attribute adjustment needs to be made on the Google end.

It’s specifically the Google-property sites like AdWords & Analytics that are leading us to believe that this may be the case. Can someone help us to either confirm or deny this theory?

We have connected AdWords to our Google Analytics views and it works: AdWords campaigns are shown in Google Analytics. For deeper analysis we would like to analyze the data also in BigQuery.

We have setup the import from Google Analytics to BigQuery using a data view which is linked to AdWords. The import itself works, but if we search in BigQuery for TrafficCampaigns with TrafficMedium = cpc (AdWords-Campaigns), the campaigns are missing (null).

We are also importing all AdWords data directly to BigQuery, but we could not find how to relate this data to the Google Analytics data.

Does anybody know how this works? What do we have to do to link the AdWords campaigns with the Google Analytics data in BigQuery?

Thanks for your help! Kind regards, Al

I'm creating a remarketing audience list in Google analytics and after setting audience definition when I add audience destinations, I only see 0 as the audience size in google ads. In google ads, it keeps showing me the audience list is too small. But even if I try to retarget a subdomain, it still shows up too small. It happened since last October. Did Google change any configuration or algorithm? Thanks all!

I've setup an experiment on a specific URL in which I send no traffic (same domain name that I use for other landing pages but with different parameter in the URL)

I've started the experiment few days ago without sending any traffic And now I see that the experiment got triggered around 5000 times. I double checked on my analytics reports and I see no access to the main page that is supposed to trigger the test. To explain with example:

This is what I have running:

http://domain1/landingpages?id=1

http://domain1/landingpages?id=2

this is the test that I created:

http://domain1/landingpages?id=3

with a 50% redirect on:

http://domain1/landingpages?id=4

The Experiment should only be triggered on id=3 page, but it did got triggered with id=1 and id=2 pages. Any idea how I can make the trigger only happen when "id=3" is in the url ? Currently my configuration is as follow:

"WHEN Url Matches "http://domain1/landingpages?id=3" "

I've tried many different permutations of gtag and ga codes and I can't seem to get a positive conversion on Google Analytics.

This code runs on form submit and the Google Ad conversion in the first line registers a positive conversion in that platform. Google Analytics is what isn't showing the goal.

I'm NOT using the Google Tag Manager, but including the following global tag.

<script>   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];   function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}   gtag('js', new Date());   gtag('config', 'XXXXXXXX'); </script> 

As you can see here the lines I've marked as the attempts are as follows:

// This Google Ad Conversion works properly gtag('event', 'conversion', {'send_to': 'XXXXXXXX'}); // Attempt 1 gtag('event', 'Submit', { 'event_category': 'Form', 'event_label': 'Outdoor Kitchens Landing Oct 2019', 'value': 1 }); // Attempt 2 ga('send', 'event', 'Form', 'Submit', 'Outdoor Kitchens Landing Oct 2019', 1); // Attempt 3 ga('send', {   hitType: 'event',   eventCategory: 'Form',   eventAction: 'Submit',   eventLabel: 'Outdoor Kitchens Landing Oct 2019',   eventValue: 1 }); 

In order to make the ga code work, I had to include the following snippet in the HEAD.

<script>   window['GoogleAnalyticsObject'] = 'ga';   window['ga'] = window['ga'] || function() {     (window['ga'].q = window['ga'].q || []).push(arguments)   }; </script> 

The setup of the goal in Google Analytics is as follows (the label that is cut off reads "Outdoor Kitchens Landing Oct 2019"
