Google & Youtube channel GA4 integration ignores "send_page_view" === false (Trekkie bug?)

Currently I am trying to avoid sending page_view event data initially to GA4 by adjusting the config before the script gets even loaded. The config is even sent automatically to the dataLayer by Shopify. But still the tracking script keeps firing the page_view event everytime I visit a page inside of the store. Here I can show what I have found out so far:

Adjustments in the theme and right before the end of :

And here also the dataLayer which gets set by Shopify trekkie script automatically:

So with all the send_page_view === false in the place, I am still receiving the event in GA4. It seems that the integration of the GA4 instance never receives the config.

Does anyone have a clue or solution for this? The integration is handled by Shopify’s trekkie script, so maybe there is some config available which we can adjust?

Hi patrck,

If you configure your GA4 via Google Tag Manager you can limit the page view limit from once per event to once per page.
