Why this site exists

Tracking architectures have evolved from simple copy-and-paste tags into layered, first-party, and server-mediated systems. This site explains those patterns clearly — so you can understand tradeoffs, compare approaches, and choose what fits your data quality, privacy, and engineering needs.

Who it is for

Marketers, analysts, engineers, and anyone designing or reviewing how measurement and marketing data flows from the browser to vendors.
