Google Analytics is off until the consent manager permits it.

Ezoic manages advertising choices through its consent manager. Rejecting cookies may still allow contextual ads. Google Analytics starts only when the consent manager reports consent for storing information on your device and measuring content performance, or that GDPR does not apply; it never runs with Global Privacy Control. Separate readership measurement and third-party embeds remain off. Browser notifications have a separate subscription control.

You can also disable all Ezoic ads in this browser. This reloads the page to stop the ad code; it does not delete information previously collected. Disabling ads does not change Google Analytics, which follows the consent manager. Withdrawing consent after Google Analytics has started stops it and reloads the page; it does not delete information already collected.
