I'm just curious if someone can tell me how long google tracks campaigns with UTM parameters? Is it indefinitely or is it something i can tell it to stop?

How do I send UTM params or any campaign data to google analytics 4 using measurement protocol? Their GA4 documentation does not mention anything about this.
At the time of writing the Measurement Protocol (Google Analytics 4) is still in beta.
There are limitations in what it supports and what it will support in the future.
UTM parameters are text strings that you can append to URLs that allow you track those URLs when they get clicked on. UTM parameters make Universal analytics Google Analytics pick up on the data in the code and log it with the pageview. The resulting data is visible in Universal analytics Google Analytics, meaning you can track traffic in terms of where it came from and how it got to you.
At the time of writing there is no mention of UTM support in Google analytics GA4
My question is related to the connection of google analytics data with google ads data.
I have auto-tagging enabled in GA and Google Ads. And I have "Allow manual utm_parameters overwrite auto-tagging parameters in GA".
In the link I have manually specified the utm parameters that are different to google/cpc and when clicking on the ad gclid is appended.
But I can't see any sessions assigned to any campaign in the report.
Do someone have any ideas why could it happen?
My utm_parameters for source / medium are different from google / cpc. Could it be the reason?
Thanks in advance
If you don't have gclid and if you have source / medium other than google / cpc, Google will not be able to recognize that those sessions are from Google Ads, you will probably find them in the (Other) channel in Google Analytics.
There is something quite basic that confuses me. I use Google ads conversion tracking with Google Tag Manager, and I don't understand how my google analytics know about these ads in the first place. I mean, the conversion tags I create in Google Tag Manager don't include the Google Analytics tracking code at all.
What am I missing?
Thanks
It knows based on the url structure of the incoming links.
This link gives a good overview.
UTM Codes: How to Track Campaign URLs in Google Analytics
This tool allows you to see how the different urls are built and decomposed in GA.

Essentially the structure is integrated and google analytics logically decomposes and presents the data in a meaningful format based on URL.
all,
Suppose i am doing advertisement for my website on multiple youtube channel.I am not owner of those channels.Now i want to track whole traffic information (such as session,pageviews etc) by google analytics of each youtube channel where my advertisement is going on.is it possible through google analytics?
that means, how can i track information of each youtube channel's url through google analytics?
Can i track by google analytics?
Please help me to solve this problem.
Any suggestion is really appreciable.
You can track YouTube channel using Google Analytics if you are owner of channel.
In any case you can use UTM tags for tracking traffic from YouTube channels.
I have some google analytics events on my site, and have now started using Google Adwords. Adwords normally uses goals not events to show conversion rates, but can I somehow use my events instead to see conversions?
Yes. You need to make two simple steps to use Google Analytics events as conversions in AdWords :
Create Goal in analytics for your events. You need to use custom
goal and event as Goal Type. Check the Google Analytics guide.
Import your goals to AdWords. That's pretty easy process and AdWords
has a manual for this. You'll just need your AdWords and
Analytics accounts to be linked.
