@Sonia;

I have not tried it in IE8, in fact, I haven’t used IE in a couple of years :) But yes, you are correct, it should set a cookie. I’ll see if I can debug it soon. But, to be honest, the User Defined feature will be deprecated in the future and we should use Custom Variables.

Hello!
I know this post is a bit old and all but I would just like to ask a small question! This code doesn’t seem to work in IE8, it just doesn’t create any cookie, it should work right? It works in Firefox and Chrome. Could you please tell me if it works with you or it’s just me? Thank you.

[...] EpikOne has a great post on how to exclude yourself from Google Analytics, and with a very slight modification you can create an admin page in WordPress that provides a one-click solution no matter where you’re editing from. [...]

Hi Ken,

Glad you like the PDF. Look for a new version this summer.

Re: your question, the cookie will last 6 mo as long as it is not erased. if you’re using WP you could reset the cookie set every time the user logs in. That will give you a reliable way to keep it on the user’s machine.

Thanks for reading the blog and thanks for the question.

Justin

ps – if you want to send the cookie value by email you’ll need to make that tweak, I’m busy updating/writing books :)

Justin,

Thanks so much for the tip! This will be SUPER helpful for everyone over here on the Pelotonics team. It makes sense to just create a bookmark since a lot of us are clearing our cookies everyday.

Cheers mate!

Hi Justin,
As a followup to my previous question… I’m not super great at getting forms to do “unusual” things. Would it be possible to have your “Count Me Out” form set the cookie *and* have the value sent to me via email on the same click?

That way I could have a client set the cookie on their computer and also inform me of what I need to exclude in their Analytics…

Thanks!
Ken

Hi Justin,
I got your GA book… Great stuff! I learned (and am continuing to) learn alot!

I have a question about setting the Custom Segment Cookie/ Exclude Filter.

Do you have an idea about how stable the cookie is?

When I set up a client’s WordPress website with GA and want to exclude them (and me too!) using this method, how often should they reset the cookie? You mention that you set it every time you fire up your browser. That’s an onerous task to ask my clients to do.

Do you know of a way to automatically reset the cookie periodically?

Thanks!
Ken
