The Google Analytics 4 Cloud destination does not support Google Optimize. This destination operates in cloud-mode (sending events from Segment servers to Google Analytics using the Measurement Protocol API), which prevents the required [Optimize SDK](https://support.google.com/optimize/answer/11287798?visit_id=637903946258690719-978290187&rd=1){:target="_blank"} snippet from loading on the page.

### Client/server-side event deduplication
223+
Google doesn't offer guidance around how to deduplicate the same event coming in server and client side. As a result, Segment recommends that you not send the same event into Google Analytics 4 from two different locations such that you would expect Google to deduplicate one of the events out of their pipeline. You can [deduplicate user counts](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9355949?hl=en){:target="_blank"} using the `User ID` field, but you cannot deduplicate whole events in the Google platform as far as Segment is aware.
