I didn't think Google Analytics cookies were classed as ‘strictly necessary’ under PECR exemption? e.g. When installing GA4 on your "London" example company shouldn't you also advise installing a cookie consent plugin as well? If so do you have any recommendations, preferably for one that includes separate "Video Player" cookie consent like the one used on the I.C.O. (Information Commissioner's Office) website?

You're right, and I should have included that in the tutorial. I believe Cookiebot, Complianz, and OneTrust all offer video player options, though I’m not entirely sure since I'm not an expert on the subject.

@@rankingacademy Thanks I'll have a look at those 👍- "Cookie Control" by Civic as used on the ICO website was too complex to set up & was only free for personal use. > I'm not an expert on the subject. Me neither - I learned a little after coming across a company direct marketing their "compliance services" by warning that any website which didn't follow EU cookie policy would be liable to a fine & implying they would report them to the ICO - it led to a few folks I know removing all analytics from their sites. The crazy thing was that most had only ever installed GA because "everyone has it", or because they didn't realise that the basic info they wanted was freely available via their hosting control panel - and with no need to jump through any legislative hoops Re. cookie compliance, OR analytics Co.s passing & storing data outside the EU / etc. etc.

Where do you stand on using an ssl certification on websites? Are they always a necessity?

[@rankingacademy]

yes absolutely

Great video! Can responses to Google Business Profile reviews be automated using any AI software you know of? This would be so handy for my clients if I can implement a solution like this as i can save them time. Thank you!

[@rankingacademy]

I don't know if you use a software to manage your client's profile but SEM rush has a feature that automates review responses. You don't have anything to do. As soon as a review is posted, the response is generated automatically

[@wgm247]

​@@rankingacademy Thanks will try that :) much appreciated!

[@rankingacademy]
