Hi, I tried adding this value under 'Advanced Settings'-> 'Create only fields'. However it says cookieFlags is not a valid property. Please let me know if there is a different method to add cookieFlags.

I'm having the same issue.

I try to set cookieFlags|secure;samesite=none in "Advanced Settings > Custom Javascript Code > Parameters", but I get this error: Parameter name cookieFlags is unknown. Parameters are case sensitive. Please see documentation for supported parameters.

In D7 this error doesn't happen.

I am also getting the same error message as Hubbs when trying to perform the same action. Is there any update on if a similar patch to https://www.drupal.org/project/google_analytics/issues/3238348 ?

Would be ideal to have the cookieFlags and cookieUpdate added to the parameters.

I think this should be marked as a bug fix rather than a feature request, since it appears to break ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services - e.g. SSO) logins in our organization when a GA cookie is set without the appropriate SameSite, Secure cookies set.

I have created a patch that allows the cookieFlags and cookie_flags to be added to the Custom Javascript Code section under Advanced Settings.

Example parameters: cookie_flags|secure

This patch works on both 8.x-3.1 and 4.0.2.

With the sunset of legacy google analytics, the 8.x-3.x module is now unsupported. If this is still an issue with the 4.x version, please file a new issue in the queue.

This is still a thing in 4.0.3.

Patch from #9 helped us to define the cookie_flags
