Google Universal Analytics integration.
The integration will be done with an additional script. The script below will block Google Analytics based on a Global Tag.
Here is how the script works:
Google Analytics will be set based on a condition, which is checking one of the cookies, that are set by our app. This cookie is storing information on which exact cookie group is blocked currently, either based on the initial state, or the preferences of each customer. When the initial state is set to block the Analytics cookie group or the customer opts out, the script which is setting the Tag Manager will not be executed.

Open Shopify Admin.
Click on Online Store link in the left menubar.
Click on the Actions dropdown button and select Edit Code from there.
