Context
Google is sunsetting Universal Analytics (GA3) at the end of June 2024.
The new version of analytics, GA4, recommends the use of Google Tag Manager. This is a functionality provided by Google, whereby arbitrary code may be entered into the Google Analytics console and then injected into a script on the application page.
The Google Tag Manager process bypasses Pay's secure development requirements (prioritisation, code written by trained software developers, code review and security testing) and is therefore not acceptable for use in any applications in the card data environment (CDE) or any applications that affect the CDE, as our PCI compliance would be at risk.
Google tag ('gtag') may be used as a static alternative to Google Tag Manager (see Google's documentation for more information about the difference between the two). This method does not include any code modifiable in the console and as such is suitable for use by GOV.UK Pay.
Changes proposed in this pull request
Implementation of gtag and removal of GA code.
