Integration of third-party tags

Using the etracker tag manager, you can send data to etracker analytics as well as trigger tags from Google, Meta etc.. The particular advantage of this is that triggering is automatically linked to the etracker consent manager and therefore only takes place with the appropriate consent. This means that you only have to maintain third-party tags in one place. You can also access all the data that is recorded in etracker analytics for the third-party tags. This makes management very simple, efficient and avoids errors.

Prerequisites

• To display standard third-party tags, you need at least an etracker analytics Pro or Enterprise Edition.
• To display user-defined third-party tags (custom code), you need an etracker analytics Enterprise Edition.

Optionally, only the tag and consent manager modules can be upgraded to the Pro or Enterprise level.

Standard and user-defined tags

The tags from Google, Microsoft Ads, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn Ads are preconfigured by default. The individual associated tags can be selected by clicking on the respective entry.

Any individual codes can be integrated via the option </ > Custom. With the custom tag, you can choose between global display on all pages and targeted triggering.

Configure tags

After selecting the tag type, you can make all the necessary and optional settings for the tag. This always includes an individual title or name and an optional description.

With global or basic tags, there is no need to define triggers and variables, as they are controlled on all pages and only contain the assignment to the provider accounts. Otherwise, tag management always involves the combination of tag and trigger. The trigger is used to determine when the tag is used. Variables can optionally be used to add dynamic content.

The assignment to a consent category and the respective provider is also part of the tag configuration. This information can be used to control consent management and display the appropriate information in the detailed view of the consent dialog.

Once the configuration is complete, the tag can be published directly or saved as a draft. Both the live tag and tag drafts can be tested via the debug mode.

Checking using debug mode is always recommended to avoid errors from the outset.

Created tags can be edited again at any time or used as an aid when creating further tags using the copy function. Changes are automatically documented in the change history.

This gives you secure control of all third-party tags and a perfectly integrated solution for analytics, consent and tag management.
