There are essentially 3 versions of Google Analytics you may be using.
- Google Classic Analytics is a very old version, and has been deprecated by Google since at least 2016. Bookeo no longer supports this version.
- Google Universal Analytics was introduced by Google in 2013. Many websites still use this version of Google Analytics. However Google has announced that Google Universal Analytics tracking will stop on July 1 2023. Bookeo supports this version of Google Analytics, but recommends upgrading to Google Analytics 4 as soon as possible.
- Google Analytics 4 was introduced by Google in 2020. Since 2021, this is the version that Google recommends, and is also the default version if you create a new Analytics account. This is also the version recommended by Bookeo.

<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
.....
