Privacy‑First Measurement
Server‑Side Tracking That Restores Accuracy
Clean data, faster pages, and durable attribution. We implement GA4 + GTM Server, Consent Mode v2, Enhanced Conversions, and Meta/Google CAPI—wired to your KPIs.
90%+ event reliability post ‑ implementation*
20–40% faster LCP by moving tags off the page*
What you get
Durable Measurement, Cleaner Pages, Better ROI
A modern stack that respects privacy and still measures outcomes you can optimize.
GA4 + GTM Server

Client-Side vs Server-Side - What Actually Changes
Same business questions, different mechanics. Hover to learn more; toggle to see our recommendation by context.
Susceptible to ad-blockers, ITP/ETP; lower event match rates.
Tags run in browser → scripts add weight; CLS/LCP risk.
Harder to enforce governance; PII risks without hashing.
Small sites, low compliance needs, simple pixels.
Higher match rates via CAPI & modeled fills; resilient to blockers.
Offloads scripts to edge/server → faster pages, better CWV.
Hashing, header enrichment, policy filters at the server.
Regulated markets, performance-sensitive sites, multi-channel.
with Consent Mode v2 + ECL and server-side routing*
by removing heavy third-party scripts from the browser*
strip PII, enforce mappings, and log decisions centrally

FAQs
Everything About Server‑Side Tracking
Timelines, hosting choices, costs, and how we prove impact.
What does the rollout typically involve?▾
GTM server container on App Engine or Cloud Run, DNS for first‑party endpoint, CMP hookup for Consent Mode v2, CAPI with dedup IDs, and Looker dashboards.
Do we still keep any client‑side tags?▾
Yes—hybrid is common. We keep lightweight client‑side triggers for consent and event IDs, while routing heavy lifting via the server container.
How do you prove ROI?▾
We measure event delivery rate, modeled conversions gained, match quality, CWV improvements, and media outcomes (CPA/ROAS) before vs after.
What about costs?▾
Cloud hosting is usage‑based and modest for most sites. We right‑size architecture and provide cost dashboards so there are no surprises.
