- User permission settings for data collection (Correct answer)
- Page loading speed
- Server-side caching
- Ad budget allocation
Correct answer: User permission settings for data collection
Consent mode adjusts how tags behave based on users' consent choices for analytics and ads.
Question 2: In a free form exploration, what does adding a 'segment' to the canvas do?
- Deletes all rows
- Filters the data to a defined subset of users or sessions (Correct answer)
- Exports to BigQuery
- Changes the property timezone
Correct answer: Filters the data to a defined subset of users or sessions
A segment restricts the exploration to a specific subset of users, sessions, or events.
Question 3: Which GA4 metric helps measure how many distinct users triggered a specific event?
- Event count
- Total users (Correct answer)
- Conversions
- Sessions
Correct answer: Total users
Total users tied to an event shows how many unique people performed that action.
Question 4: What is the recommended approach to avoid double-counting conversions across GA4 and Google Ads?
- Use separate Measurement IDs
- Import GA4 conversions into Google Ads and avoid duplicate Ads tags (Correct answer)
- Disable all conversions
- Turn off Google signals
Correct answer: Import GA4 conversions into Google Ads and avoid duplicate Ads tags
Importing GA4 conversions while removing redundant Ads tags prevents counting the same action twice.
Question 5: Which GA4 feature lets you define a rule to rename or group events without editing site code?
- Modify events (Correct answer)
- Data import
- Audience triggers
- Realtime overview
Correct answer: Modify events
Modify events lets you change or group incoming event names directly in the GA4 interface.
Question 6: What is the main risk of applying too many filters to a single GA4 data stream?
- Faster reporting
- Permanently excluding data you may later need (Correct answer)

Filters can permanently exclude data, so overly aggressive filtering removes information you cannot recover.
