Google Tag Manager: This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means no cookies are used and no personal data is collected by the Tag Manager itself. The Tag Manager triggers other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivated at the domain or cookie level, it remains deactivated for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google Analytics: This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. IP anonymization is active on this website. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly.
Extracting scalable vector graphics (SVGs) from websites can be challenging, especially when the graphics are styled using external CSS stylesheets. Standard copying methods often result in the loss of colors and formatting. The following guide details a JavaScript-based method to extract SVGs with fully baked-in styles, along with alternative approaches and instructions for using an […]
When moving your Google Analytics 4 (GA4) tracking to Server-Side Google Tag Manager (ssGTM), you unlock a new level of data control, privacy, and cookie durability. One of the most powerful—yet misunderstood—features in the GA4 Client configuration is the “Migrate from JavaScript Managed Client ID” setting. To understand why this checkbox is critical, we first […]
If you work in digital marketing or data analytics today, you probably use a Tag Management System (TMS) daily. But it wasn’t always this easy. To truly understand the power of modern platforms like Google Tag Manager, Tealium, or Jentis, we have to look back at how data collection began. The Early Days: The Hardcoding […]
With growing privacy regulations (GDPR, DMA), managing user consent has become the foundation of web analytics. Everyone is familiar with Google Consent Mode (GCM), but Microsoft Ads (formerly Bing Ads) has also introduced its own mechanism for its UET (Universal Event Tracking) tag. How does it work and how do you implement it? What is […]
Have you ever needed to restore just one database or a specific set of tables from a multi-gigabyte (e.g., 5GB) MySQL dump? Opening a file of that size in standard text editors like VS Code or Notepad++ usually leads to extreme lag or a complete system crash. Instead of struggling with desktop software or complex […]
Backing up your remote server (like a Raspberry Pi) directly to Google Drive is a brilliant way to ensure data safety. The tool for the job is Rclone – the “Swiss Army knife” of cloud storage. However, setting it up on a “headless” server (a machine without a graphical interface or web browser) can be […]
Developing projects based on the Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5 often involves connecting external peripherals. High-speed NVMe SSDs, external USB drives, and various sensors require stable and uninterrupted power. Standard Raspberry Pi 4 boards typically require 5V/3A, while the Raspberry Pi 5 demands up to 5V/5A (or a minimum of 5V/3A with restricted […]
In server-side tracking architectures, masking IP addresses before transmission to analytics endpoints is a critical step for data protection. The following guide details the technical configuration required to implement server-side IP anonymization across three major platforms: Server-Side Google Tag Manager (sGTM), Adobe Experience Platform (Adobe Launch), and Jentis. 1. Server-Side GTM (sGTM) for GA4 Anonymizing […]
Adherence to global privacy standards necessitates the anonymization of IP addresses before transmission to advertising platforms. This document outlines the procedure for masking IP addresses within the Server-Side Google Tag Manager (ssGTM) environment for Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok Conversions API integrations. Step 1: Implementing IP Masking Logic The anonymization process involves stripping the last octet […]
Custom Dimensions in Matomo provide the capability to track specific attributes beyond standard metrics. By defining unique parameters, it becomes possible to segment data based on custom logic, such as content categories, membership levels, or author names. The following guide outlines the end-to-end implementation process. Step 1: Defining Dimensions in the Admin Panel The configuration […]
