As the digital marketing industry adapts to new privacy standards, server-side tracking is becoming increasingly important. For those unfamiliar with this technology, it represents a new approach to data collection that is both powerful and privacy-compliant. MetricsGate is at the forefront of making this technology accessible and easy to implement for website owners. Here's how it works.
What is Server-Side Tracking?
Server-side tracking involves sending user interaction data from the browser to an analytics server on the same domain as the website. This method is essential for overcoming the limitations of client-side data collection and adhering to privacy laws.
The Role of Google Tag Manager
Implementing server-side tracking begins with Google Tag Manager (GTM). For those who already have GTM installed, MetricsGate reconfigures it to communicate with the server-side components that have been set up during the configuration phase.

MetricsGate ensures a smooth transition to server-side tracking by:

- Reconfiguring Existing GTM: If you have GTM already in place, MetricsGate will reconfigure it to utilize the new server-side components.
- Comprehensive Analytics Integration: MetricsGate doesn't just stop at Google Analytics; we enable integration with a multitude of analytics platforms directly through GTM, allowing for a versatile and robust data collection ecosystem.
