#4773: Change GTM ID on trac properties to match the rest of the ecosystem
----------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: jonoaldersonwp | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Trac | Keywords: analytics seo
----------------------------+---------------------------
Almost all *.wordpress.org properties use Google Tag Manager to implement
and manage our Google Analytics tracking.
*.trac.wordpress.org domains, however, use a different container ID (`GTM-
5Z8B3BX`), and a different GA account. This results in session
fragmentation, and the erasure of referrer data in all cases where users
navigate between the sites / GA accounts. It also means that trac sites
don't undergo the same level of sanitisation, processing and privacy
handling that other dot org sites do.
We should, therefore, update all Trac GTM IDs to use the primary container
(`GTM-P24PF4B`), which will consolidate all of the data into a single GA
account.
I'm assuming that nobody is actively using/looking at the dedicated Trac
Google Analytics account, and that nobody will mind terribly if it goes
stale moving forward (especially given that the data will be more
integrated, in its new home).
