Since July 2023, the new Google Analytics 4 property has become the only one that supports Google Analytics. Data collection in Universal Analytics properties has been discontinued.
The new GA4 type of analytics tracking has many more features than the previous one, but it is very different in its approach to collecting and organizing information, and working with it requires some new knowledge and time to get used to it.
