Unload/remove/disable Google Analytics dynamically without a full page load

Question

I see various guides on how to add Google Analytics/ GA into a page dynamically, eg for a Single Page Application/ SPA.

How can I do the reverse, ie a user clicks a button and Google Analytics is completely removed from that page, without a full page load?

The instructions at https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/user-opt-out suggesting to set

window['ga-disable-GA_MEASUREMENT_ID'] = true;

I don't think helps doing this, since the page states

This window property must be set before any calls to gtag() are made

Answer 1

You can do it easily by refreshing the page on opt-out and setting:

window['ga-disable-TRACKING-ID'] = true;

before gtag is loaded.

More detail here: User opt-out with gtag.js

to disable tracking (not all) without reload:

gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID', { 'send_page_view': false })
gtag('set', 'allow_ad_personalization_signals', false)

Answer 2

I ended up solving this problem a bit differently than I have seen posted anywhere. The app I'm working on tracks globally but also needs to track content that's own by an org for that org.

so i don't do this

gtag('config', 'GA_MEASUREMENT_ID)

and instead use the send_to field. which basically looks something like

const measurementIds = [ GA_MEASUREMENT_ID_1, GA_MEASUREMENT_ID_2 ];
measurementIds.forEach(id => {
  gtag('event', 'page_view', { send_to: id });
})

as users go in out of various content I add or remove their ID to the measurementIds array.
