I am using Google Analytics and I am trying to set cross domain tracking for my website. I've read Google's cross domain tracking guide, but I am confused as to how to implement it properly.

The issue I am having is that the example code they give looks nothing like the tracking code I was given through my Google Analytics admin console.

My tracking code looks like this:

<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

ga('create', 'MyTrackingID', 'MyDomain');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>


(My actual tracking ID and my domain have been censored out with MyTrackingID and MyDomain, respectively.)

However, the example tracking code given in the guide looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript';
ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' :
'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>


How do I add the _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'A.com']); "option" to my tracking code as instructed?
