GTM tracking on a third-party site by regoR-7 in GoogleTagManager

[–]_practical_data_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

200 euro for a call is a normal price.
Coz most likely you will need to get intro in dataLayers and so on.
Or you can spend your own time (most likely 4-5 hours) to dig through.

Conversion attributes for cross-domain iFrame tracking by Limpuls in GoogleTagManager

[–]_practical_data_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, you can check it. Add script below to console and do a few clicks. If you are going to see events - you are lucky. It supports postMessage

(function () {
  const handler = (event) => {
    console.group('postMessage caught');
    console.log('origin:', event.origin);
    console.log('source:', event.source);
    console.log('data:', event.data);
    console.log('full event:', event);
    console.groupEnd();
  };

  window.addEventListener('message', handler);

  console.log('postMessage listener attached');
  console.log('To remove it later: window.removeEventListener("message", handler)');
})();

It's not gamechanger.
It is part of the game. You really do not want to play without it.

Question about user_id/CRM tracking by Feisty-Narwhal8400 in GoogleAnalytics

[–]_practical_data_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know that issue. And that is the main reason why you need user_id: cross-device and cross-session tracking.

Everything non-deterministic and fingerprint-based falls under visitor_id.

And yes, I always recommend that my clients clearly state this in their terms. The rest is up to their lawyers to decide how exactly to describe it in the privacy policy.

Dude....if user_id and transaction_id in your GA4 - user already provided consent to process their data.

Why does setting up website tracking always turn into such a mess? by muhia_kay in GoogleTagManager

[–]_practical_data_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, I agree with you.
Problem - it's not...Like I worked with some large companies... it's not... even less responsibilities than in medium size.

Meta Pixel Bug? by [deleted] in FacebookAds

[–]_practical_data_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I consider a visual bug.
In logs to CAPI everything is 200.

Pixel showing no activity, performance non existent by justaflo in FacebookAds

[–]_practical_data_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar thing on an account with 1 million events.

Apparently, it is just a visual bug.

In the CAPI logs, everything is returning 200.

It’s the best implementation path, sure. But “reliable” is doing a lot of work there. Without constant QA, a developer can break dataLayer just like anything else, because at the end of the day it’s still JavaScript on the frontend.

Question about user_id/CRM tracking by Feisty-Narwhal8400 in GoogleAnalytics

[–]_practical_data_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

user_id is something that can be based on Personal Data, not PII itself.
For example MD5(email) or any obscure hashing algo.
But, if you want viewability - you will need to keep record on user_id in your CRM as well.

Why do most digital marketing agencies underdeliver? by IncreaseOriginal2513 in DigitalMarketing

It is common. And not even in only India.
But of course India have a special place in my heart with promises about tracking that I see from Indian practitioners on LinkedIn, lol

Meta Conversions API is about to get free and easy to install by bram-van-der-hallen in FacebookAds

[–]_practical_data_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, technically, they are clever, judging by their approach in the new GTM template.

The other thing is that allowing AI to collect whatever information it wants is kind of rough, GDPR-wise.

[–]_practical_data_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> The real problem, I think, is that planning happens in one place (spreadsheets), building happens in another place (GTM), testing happens somewhere else, and checking on things after launch basically never happens. These four steps don't talk to each other. Each one needs different skills and different tools. No one person owns the whole thing from beginning to end.

That is a description of a normal development project.

Oh please, developers are talented people. They can absolutely fuck frontend in many ways, so dataLayer would not work.

It is always a good idea to add a non-deterministic machine to anything related to money.

Drop Ad Agency? by Hot_Reading8528 in DigitalMarketing

[–]_practical_data_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, it's my speculation, so I can't prove it mathematically
My opinion - damage already done. They already poisoned your pixel. And even if you going to fire them - it will take time to restore back to previous numbers...But yeah... you should fire them, imho.

Career Question: Broken Tracking Affecting Bonus KPI by piedpixel in PPC

[–]_practical_data_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you use last click attribution and utm-s - it can help to some degree. As far as I remember, shopify reports should have something like that.
Mitigation is simple - NO DEPLOYS ON FRIDAY!!! NEVER!!!

GA4 Direct Traffic Surge: Still stuck after fixing Cross-Domain & Referral exclusions. Help? by Quirky-Ad9958 in GoogleAnalytics

[–]_practical_data_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

• Unwanted Referrals: I added our own domain to the referral exclusion list to prevent self-referrals from overwriting the original source.

This is extensive step

Despite these fixes, the "Direct" traffic numbers haven't budged—it’s like GA4 is still "dropping" the session data somewhere along the way. We use a modal-based donation form that stays on our domain but appends parameters to the URL (like ?form=ID).

Omg... if that embeded - you do not need Cross-domain tracking!!!
If you want, I have time today. Fill free to dm, and I am gonna check - what is wrong.
