Data & Analytics / Server-side tracking

Server-side tracking, scoped to your setup.

Process measurement data through a server you control before sending it to analytics and advertising platforms. We assess the use case, implement the setup and test delivery and consent.

// Why it matters

Control how measurement data reaches your platforms.

Server-side tagging gives you a processing layer between your data sources and their destinations. It can improve control over what is sent, but browser restrictions, consent and the quality of the original events still matter. We assess those dependencies before recommending a build.

We define which fields each destination needs and configure transformations or redaction where appropriate. Data minimisation and access controls are part of the implementation.

// What we do

What we do.

01
Audit & fix client-side

Review the existing events, consent settings and platform diagnostics to establish a baseline.

02
Build the container

Stand up the server container, first-party subdomain and Consent Mode, and migrate one platform at a time.

03
Validate in parallel

Test browser and server delivery together, check deduplication and compare the results before switching over.

// Common questions

Questions we get asked.

Is server-side tracking worth it for us?

It depends on your measurement goals, existing integrations, consent setup and maintenance budget. We assess those first and explain the expected benefit and ongoing work before recommending a build.

Does server-side improve privacy?

Not on its own. It gives you a place to hash and redact data before it leaves your environment - but it only reduces what is collected if you actively choose to. It is control, not automatic compliance.

How long does a server-side build take?

Typically a few weeks. We audit and fix the client-side first, stand up the container and first-party subdomain, then migrate one platform at a time and validate in parallel before switching over.

Will it recover conversions the platforms are missing?

It can improve delivery in some setups, but a recovery rate cannot be promised. We compare accepted events, deduplication and recorded outcomes against a baseline. Better recording does not itself create additional sales.
