# Case of GA tags in GTM WITHOUT cookieless feature

Setting up Google Tag Manager to enable proxying WITHOUT the Helper's cookieless tracking feature.

For a Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via GTM setup, the basic procedure consists of creating variables as explained below.​

{% hint style="info" %}
Universal Analytics has been permanently shut down by Google (standard properties: July 1, 2023; UA 360: July 1, 2024). This page only covers GA4.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
WARNING: the purpose of proxyfication is to prevent direct identification of the user by the American intelligence services, or indirect via access to data obtained from Google.

The very principle of this service is therefore to break the direct link between Google Analytics and all the other Google services.

If you measure the effectiveness of Google Ads advertising via Google Analytics, or if you share remarketing audiences, you must make arrangements to work differently because these features will not work.

For example, you may consider using Google Ads pixels or tags (remarketing and/or conversion measurement) if you believe their use is compliant.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If in doubt, do not hesitate to ask our teams to perform these tag settings for you.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Remember to declare your property identifiers (or not declare any) in your Analytics Helper console, otherwise the Pings Analytics that will pass through the proxy will be blocked.
{% endhint %}

## 1) Proxy Settings

WARNING: before proceeding below, please make sure that you have **unchecked** the “Activate cookieless mode” box in the Helper portal (<https://helper.sirdata.io/>).
