Event Collection Settings
GameAnalytics supports several ways to control how and when events are collected and sent. This is especially useful for managing data volume, handling privacy concerns or temporarily disabling analytics features.
Available event collection options
You can choose between the following from each game’s Settings page:
| Collect all events | All events are collected as normal. This is the default setting. |
| Collect session events only | Limits data collection to session-level events only. All other types of events are excluded. |
| Disable event collection | Completely stops all event collection for the game. This results in the loss of all analytics data, and this cannot be recovered. |
Additionally, when data collection is limited or disabled:
- All remote configs are disabled and revert to default values.
- A/B tests are disabled.
info
When data collection is limited or disabled, the events cannot be recovered.
How to change the event collection setting
- Go to Game Settings → General from the game’s home screen.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Danger Zone section.
- Choose the desired event collection setting.
info
Only users with Organization Owner or Primary Owner roles can make changes.
