Server Side Tracking Services
Server side tracking services move your conversion tracking from the visitor's browser to a server you control. That recovers data lost to ad blockers and browser limits, and gives you more control over what data goes to each platform.
How we approach server side tracking services
Browser-based pixels miss conversions because of ad blockers, Safari's tracking limits, slow pages and payment redirects. Ad platforms then optimise on incomplete data, and cost per acquisition looks worse than it really is. Server-side setups can help, but a careless one sends duplicate events or passes personal data without consent.
We set up a server Google Tag Manager container on Google Cloud or a managed host, route GA4, Meta Conversions API, Google Ads enhanced conversions and other platforms through it, and configure deduplication with event IDs so browser and server events are not counted twice. Consent signals are respected on the server, and personal data is hashed before sending. We compare platform conversions against backend orders before and after, so you can see what changed. You also get monitoring for hosting costs and failed requests.
- A measurement plan agreed before tracking is built
- Privacy-friendly, consent-aware data collection
