Technical

I use Cookie Bar to gather cookie consent. I use the following snippet to turn on / off Google Analytics and clear cookies in case of opt out:

    window.ga = window.ga || function () { (ga.q = ga.q || []).push(arguments) }; ga.l = +new Date;
    let matches = document.cookie.match(/(;)?cookiebar=([^;]*);?/);
    let cookieValue = Array.isArray(matches) ? matches[2] : '';
    if (cookieValue == 'CookieAllowed') {
        ga('create', 'UA-141297186-1', 'auto');
        ga('set', 'allowAdFeatures', false);
        ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);
        ga('send', 'pageview');
    } else {
        ga('remove', 'UA-141297186-1')
        document.cookie.split(";").forEach(function (c) { 
            document.cookie = c.replace(/^ +/, "")
                .replace(/=.*/, "=;expires=" + new Date().toUTCString() + ";path=/"); 
        });
    }

Please let me know if this is somewhat incorrect. I tested it locally on my browser and it worked fine.
