Introduction
If you’re getting the PII_EMAIL_B79C1D8 error, it means that your email address is showing up in your Google Analytics account as a PII (Personally Identifiable Information) item.

There are a few possible causes of this problem:
-Your email address is included in the “Referrer” field of your website.
-Your email address is included in the “User Agent” field of your website.
-You have a Google Analytics tracker installed on your website that uses the “ga(‘set’, ‘&uid’, {{USER_ID}})” command, and the {{USER_ID}} variable contains your email address.
The solution to this problem depends on which of these is causing the issue.
