Firebase, despite having a robust data structure, provides extremely poor toolset to access the data and query it properly.
You want to connect your Firebase to GA4. Once done, you will have all your data in a proper space for analysis since GA4’s data structure was completely copied from that of Firebase. Since GA4 is still a new and certainly buggy product, it is advised to only use the explorer and change the data retention setting to the maximum that’s allowed to you. By default, it’s just 2 months.
Now that should solve your analysis requirements, but if you need to go even deeper than that, you can always link your GA4 property to BQ and then have the full power of SQL at your feet.

The Google analytics data api has the same limitations as to when data has completed processing as the old Google analytics reporting api for UA.
The main difference is that with the old reporting api we could see that processing was complete by checking the is golden field.
Unfortunately I have been informed by the google analytics api team that there is no plans at this time to add an is golden option to the Google analytics data api response for GA4.
Because of this I always ensure that I give enough time for data to have completed processing before I request data from the api.
if you check the data freshness chart
It says that for all reports everything should be processed in 12 hours but it will depend greatly on the size of the properly. That being how many its your account is getting. If its a large account it could take more then 24 hours.
So how long you should weight will greatly depend upon how must data you have. Only you can decide. If its a big account with millions of hits a day i would go with the old 24 – 48 hour rule.
You could ofcouse just run a few tests. Check the data now store it and see what you get in two days if the data is the same then you will know your account processes faster then the 24 – 48 hour.

How is GA determining if it should store its data as cookies or push it to url? Pushing the data to url is the mechanism of cross-domain tracking. You set a list of domains that cross-domain tracking should work for. This is likely your problem here. You're not supposed to set subdomains, only TLDsRead more
Pushing the data to url is the mechanism of cross-domain tracking. You set a list of domains that cross-domain tracking should work for. This is likely your problem here. You’re not supposed to set subdomains, only TLDs in vast majority of cases.
This data is stored in cookies before the user goes to a different domain. If cookies are deleted, then it’s stored in the JS scope of the GA library. This implies that they would be erased and regenerated on JS context loss. Loss on a page unload, regeneration on a page load.
Well. Yes. But very tricky and expensive. And the immediate question is why would you do that. This would defeat the purpose of blocking the cookie. Natively, GA doesn’t support other methods of passing the value, but if you’re into tinkering, you can either store the value on your backend and then retrieve it, using some “primary functionality” cookie. Another option is using third party server’s cookies, but that would defeat the purpose even more.
No, it’s most likely a mistake.
Now, you really asked all the right questions, so I don’t have much to add, except that disabling your primary anonymized behavioral tracking is usually a lazy “safe” choice. And lazy here implies wrong.
Normally, larger corps don’t block primary tracking. They only block third party marketing-related tracking. Basically, pixels. They consider their main analytics part of the primary functionality, which is a strong case given that main analytics data is often used in debugging, performance measurement and even for app security audits.
Finally, using onetrust or a similar solution to completely manage your tracking is sub optimal. They basically just destroy all “offending” cookies all the time. This will mess up your behavioral data very significantly.
The proper way to use consent management systems is declaring user consent choice in your tag management system and then in it, block rules/tags from firing in case the consent is not given. You normally just carefully block marketing tags there based on consent. Remember, consent management systems are only deleting cookies. Because that’s trivial. They don’t block network requests. Absence of cookies may not prevent the data from being sent, often even uniquely identifying the client, using the primary cookie’s user id, allowing to match the activity to the backend database.
