There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good, but just wanted to check - if things like strip-dates are no longer tagged with an analytics name, does that go against what we've been doing in other places?
For example, in meta_tags.rb we have some GA4 specific tags that are:
meta_tags["govuk:ga4-political-status"] = "historic"
meta_tags["govuk:ga4-publishing-government"]
and code wise, we name spaced everything with ga4-, so should the PII specific tags have ga4- on them?
Non-blocking though, so feel free to merge.

Good point @AshGDS, thanks, have updated as suggested. |
- not needed, and confusing, as analytics now has little to do with static
- comment is out of date as refers to old Universal Analytics code that has been removed - on that basis tested to see if removing the line it refers to is still necessary, tests still pass, so removed
- more descriptive and accurate to what it contains

- recently updated the names of some of the metatags that GA4 reads for page views - but it's possible that the changes to those metatags won't be appearing for a while on a lot of pages, as they probably need republishing first - so for now let's read either the new or the old metatag (which will contain the same information) and avoid breaking a part of the GA4 tracking - haven't done the same for the strip dates/postcodes/etc. metatags as I think they're all handled internal to the gem - follow up to changes made in #4222
