Google Analytics Integration for Cincopa Media

Cincopa enables users to monitor their media assets—such as videos, images, and audio—by integrating with Google Analytics.
This integration provides valuable insights into user interactions, helping you understand and enhance your content's performance.


Getting Started

To begin, ensure you have media uploaded to your Cincopa account and possess an active Google Analytics account.
If you don't have a Google Analytics account, you can create one at Google Analytics.

Before enabling Google Analytics within Cincopa, it's crucial to add the Google Analytics Tracking Code to your website.
This step is essential for tracking Cincopa media activities effectively.
For guidance on integrating the tracking code into your website, refer to this Google Support Article.

  1. Log in to Your Cincopa Account: Navigate to your account dashboard.
