Analytics

Learn how to configure the BeyondWords Player analytics settings.

The BeyondWords Player natively integrates with BeyondWords Analytics.

You can configure the player analytics settings to disable analytics, adjust privacy settings, or send analytics events to Google Analytics or your own custom analytics solution.

Disable or customize analytics

The BeyondWords Player sends analytics events to BeyondWords analytics by default. These events do not contain any personally identifiable information, but only random UUIDs to identify the same user across sessions. This UUID is persisted in local storage in the browser under the beyondwords key. However, you can adjust the events that get sent according to your preferences.

Option 1: BeyondWords Player script

Set analyticsConsent to any of the following:

• allowed analytics will be sent to BeyondWords and, if set, the analyticsCustomUrl (default).

• without-local-storage analytics will be sent to BeyondWords and, if set, the analyticsCustomUrl but without local_storage_id.

• none analytics will be sent to BeyondWords or the analyticsCustomUrl.

Option 2: Contact support

Contact support@beyondwords to disable analytics or to not set a UUID in local storage.

Connect custom analytics solution

Option 1: BeyondWords Player script
