GA4 Client-Side Data Redaction - How to remove PII from your data before you collect it

In my recent article, I explored the potential of GA4 as a core component in crafting a lightweight Composable CDP. One of the capabilities for a Composable CDP is its ability to account for Data Governance and Privacy Controls. Building on that, this post zooms in on GA4’s capabilities that allow for data management in alignment with privacy standards.
