I'm using Ubercart. My GA quit tracking ecommerce referrals. I discovered that a referral tracked with the _utmz cookie would get reset to "direct" after completing checkout. If I turn off the Google Website Optimizer, the cookie does not get changed and it then reports correctly to Google Analytics. I could not figure out why my referrals quit tracking ecommerce. Turns out this module is the problem.

Hi,

This module just helps place the Google Website Optimizer code - it doesn't do any of the processing like setting cookies. I'd say this is a conflict between Google Analytics and GWO. I've used GWO on about 50 sites with Analytics and haven't had this problem -- GWO tends to use a cookie called _utmzz or similar.

Can you give me a link to your site so I can check it out? I have the feeling it has something to do with the Google Analytics module.

Yes, I'm at www.esplanner.com but I suspect you'll need to get into the admin module settings to check it out?
