# Turn off Google Analytics reports in Confluence

To turn off Google Analytics reports in Confluence, open the **Google Analytics configuration** page, tick **Turn off Google Analytics reports in Confluence** under **Other options**, and select **Save configuration**. The report pages, the Page analytics panel and the macro stop showing data. Page views keep flowing to Google Analytics.

---

## Before you start

* You are a Confluence administrator.
* Decide whether you want to hide reports only, or stop sending data to Google too. The steps differ.

---

## Steps

1. Open Confluence **Settings** and select **Google Analytics**.
2. Scroll to **Other options**.
3. Tick **Turn off Google Analytics reports in Confluence**.
4. Select **Save configuration**.

---

## What happens next

The **Google Analytics** entries stay in the Confluence menus, but anyone who opens them, and any page with the macro, sees **Google Analytics reports are turned off for this site.** Untick the box and save to bring reports back.

📝

To stop tracking as well, clear the **Measurement ID** under **View tracking** and select **Save configuration**. The save message confirms that no page views will be recorded. The server-side events for searches, comments and edits stop too, because they also need a measurement ID.

## If it does not work

* Reports still show for someone: the change can take a minute or two to reach everyone. Reload the page.
* You wanted only some people to lose access: use [Who can view reports](https://help.gocapable.com/google-analytics/choose-who-can-view-google-analytics-reports-in-confluence.html) instead.
