Google Analytics Real-Time not showing results

I did the same thing as you back then.

Mine started showing data in about 12-24 hours after I put the Google Analytics code.

I suggest waiting for another day then checking if data comes up.

Given that this answer can only be verified until we wait for a certain amount of time, please hold off setting this as the correct answer until then.

For me, the issue was a dunce move. I have the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on for Chrome enabled.

What I had to do was go to chrome://extensions/, scroll down to the Extension "Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on (by Google)" and uncheck the box that says, "Enable".

I hope this helps someone.

You can check the health of your tag using Google tag assistant, and also check with developer tools whether you can see data being sent to your GA account. Also look in your account under Property > Tracking Info > Tracking Code for the status of your tracking code. But if you are not seeing Real Time data then something could be wrong.

The third parameter in the 'create' method sets the cookie domain. It is optional and with 'auto', it sets the cookie domain to the highest domain level possible. Without it, the cookie domain will be set to the website domain without the www. prefix.
