Yes. And not only are they supported, but they are built-in to the shopping cart so that you can add the new version of Google Analytics code to your store by adding a single HTML tag.
Google recently introduced new versions of their Google Analytic scrips that are compatible with both secure and insecure pages. (Previously, a different version of their scripts would need to be used on each type of page.)
To use the updated Google Analytics scripts in your shopping cart, simply add one of the following QuickCode Tags to your store's HTML templates:
For general traffic statistics
The {GOOGLE-ANALYTICS-TRAFFIC} QuickCode Tag will record general traffic information. This is the standard QuickCode Tag to use on nearly every page of your store. Add this QuickCode Tag right before the </body> tag in your HTML templates.
Full details about the {GOOGLE-ANALYTICS-TRAFFIC} QuickCode Tag and an example of the JavaScript it will be translated into are available in the QuickCode Tag glossary on the Modular Merchant website at:

For recording transaction information
The {GOOGLE-ANALYTICS-TRANSACTION} QuickCode Tag will record the data about the customer's transaction. This includes the order number, order value, product information, etc. Use this QuickCode Tag on your store's receipt page.
Full details about the {GOOGLE-ANALYTICS-TRANSACTION} QuickCode Tag and an example of the JavaScript it will be translated into are available in the QuickCode Tag glossary on the Modular Merchant website at:

For more information, also refer to the Google Analytics section of the "3rd Party Service Integration" module in your store's administration area. This module includes all of the information you need to get started using these QuickCode tags, including a control panel to securely record your Google Analytics account information, to automate the data transmission process to Google.
