Issue: Liferay is still using the old Google Analytics tracking script instead of the updated tracking script in 6.2 EE. The below link displays the old script:

The below link displays the new script:

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Locate the portion of the file that runs the Google Analytics script

Expected Result: It uses the new Google Analytics Script.
Actual Result: It uses the old Google Analytics Script.
