Privacy thresholding protects user anonymity but surprises analysts. Gauge your mastery of how and when GA4 applies thresholding in 2025.
Thresholding icon (orange triangle) appears when a report row has fewer than ______ users.
10
100
50
1
Privacy threshold raised to 50 in 2025 to comply with expanded EEA rules.
Sampling and thresholding are bypassed when you disable ______ data in a query.
Device ID
Advertising Features
User properties
City
Ad personalization data triggers stricter controls; disabling lowers privacy risk.
BigQuery export is unaffected by GA4 UI thresholding because data is ______.
synthetic
unsampled raw
aggregated
redacted
Analysts can still query full detail offline.
Thresholding applies only to ______ reports in GA4.
Debug
Realtime
user‑explorer, path and funnel
Standard overview
Granular reports with potential re‑identification risk.
2025 GA4 introduced a new ______ symbol to indicate blended modeled data in thresholded rows.
lock
gray circle
star
hollow square
Tooltip reads: ‘Includes modeled data due to privacy thresholds.’.
Switching reporting identity from Blended to Observed ______ likelihood of thresholding.
increases
removes
no effect
reduces
Observed uses fewer modeled joins, often meeting row counts.
To minimise thresholding in user explorer, create an audience of at least ______ users.
10
1
100
1000
Larger base keeps row counts above limit.
Thresholding never hides ______ metrics in Realtime reports.
user_id
event count
revenue
age
Realtime always shows true event totals for operational monitoring.
When thresholding applies, GA4 may show “_” (other) row; clicking it will ______.
switch property
download CSV
trigger secondary thresholding
reveal full data
Drilling in can still be subject to masking if row counts drop again.
Privacy checks evaluate each query against both row count and ______ criteria.
bounce rate
session duration
refresh rate
cardinality
High‑distinct value columns with sparse counts get additional protection.
