Yes, Google Analytics works on embedded forms. However, for the integration to function properly, you need to embed your form using the script method. This ensures that the tracking code loads correctly and all analytics events are captured without issues.
We recommend enabling the cookie consent feature when using Google Analytics. In regions with strict data protection laws, such as the European Union (EU), Switzerland, Brazil, and the Republic of South Africa, you must activate cookie consent to track form views and submission events accurately. If it is disabled, traffic and event data from these regions may not be collected or may appear incomplete.
