Architectural comparison between GA4 and self-hosted Matomo in enterprise environments, covering MySQL database ownership, zero sampling, API limits, and EU GDPR compliance.
GA4 gained a Source group dimension on 11 June 2026 that folds facebook, fb and m.facebook.com into one value, retroactively and without any tag change. It tidies the source list – and leaves channel grouping exactly where it was, because channels never read the raw source in the first place.
GA4 has had an AI Assistant channel since May. It reports every session that arrived carrying a referrer from a recognised assistant – which, by the available counts, is the smaller half of the traffic in question.
Technical guide on maximizing Meta CAPI Event Match Quality (EMQ) through server-side PII normalization, SHA-256 hashing, event_id deduplication, and GDPR compliance.
Technical guide on migrating Server-Side GTM from App Engine to GCP Cloud Run, configuring min/max instances, memory, concurrency, and avoiding cold starts.
A practical look at where Claude Code — as CLI, IDE extension, and Desktop app on Windows 11 — fits into a Google Tag Manager workflow: reading container exports, drafting tags, and catching mistakes before a human clicks publish.
A late-arriving User ID does not require a second config call: one gtag(‘set’) command hands the value to a Google tag that is already running, and every following event on the page carries it. The article covers scope precedence, the Tag Manager route including the gtagSet template API, and the parallel case of Consent Mode.
Technical guide on integrating offline CRM and POS conversions with GA4 sessions via server-side Measurement Protocol POST payloads, identity resolution, and delay handling.
Technical guide on optimizing GA4 BigQuery export costs by eliminating wildcard SELECT queries, implementing table suffix partitioning, clustering, and scheduled incremental tables.
Technical guide on containerizing smart home and analytics tools on a Raspberry Pi using Docker Compose, Watchtower, and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines.
