Comment (by obenland):

 @jonoaldersonwp I set up gtag
 [https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/ as
 documented] and used
 [https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7478520?hl=en&ref_topic=1008079
 their outbound link tracker code] pretty much verbatim. The only way I can
 keep these footer links working is if I use their
 [https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs
 /sending-data#handle_timeouts `createFunctionWithTimeout()`] wrapper to
 not having to wait until `event_callback` gets called. Which feels like
 something that should be done regardless.
