Remove a referral from Google Analytics

My website has a feature to login via Google. So whenever they log in via Google, in my Google Analytics it counts'accounts.google.com' as a referral. Is there any way to prevent this from going to 'referral'?

You have yo use the referal exclusion list, this prevent the session cutting and avoid the creation of new sessions when the user return from account.google.com, but if the domain is google.cm make sure to use the correct domain (you dont want to mess the Organic and SEM data).

To exclude you have to go to the property tab and them referral exclusion list enter image description here

And them add the domainenter image description here

This change is not retroactive, that means if the user got this referral as campaign you have to wait until this expire on the server, bu default this is 30 days. So can you see remnants during that date range.

You have set it up already, only thing I would do is escape the dots accounts\.google\.com

You can Verify the filter before saving. ga-verify-filter

If there is significant difference in data it will show message otherwise you get this

This filter would not have changed your data. Either the filter configuration is incorrect, or the set of sampled data is too small.

This message means that filter is not significant enough to improve data or set up incorrectly. You may have to play a little with it to get to right result.

Hope that helps.
