Cross-domain tracking

<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag() { dataLayer.push(arguments); }
  gtag('js', new Date());

  // Add your GA4 Measurement ID
  gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX', {
    linker: {
      domains: ['example1.com', 'example2.com'] // Replace with your domains
    }
  });
</script>

As you can see, cross-domain tracking is working here.

Note: Please ensure both websites share the same GA4 property.
