Hi @KaKaRoT and thanks for the tag @PamCotton !
You can test with your browser in incognito mode so that you don’t have your own cookies installed. You can also use another browser as long as you clear cookies first. (I sometimes use Edge for testing.) Additionally, it would be helpful to test from another IP address, such as your mobile device on a cellular network or coffee shop, again using incognito mode.
With respect to testing whether tracking is working, visit the site from an IP address that is not excluded from analytics, such as the coffee shop I mentioned above. Use incognito mode. Accept cookies when the banner pops up, and then fill out a form on your own website. Browse a few pages afterward, and then check for the activity on the contact record you created an hour or two later. You should see the activity.
If that doesn’t work, make sure you have the tracking code installed correctly. You can also try disabling some of your other WordPress plugins and testing again in case another plugin is interfering with tracking.
Hope this helps!
