Tracking Solutions Overview

Tracking Solution Explained
Partnerize Tag First Party Tracking The Partnerize Tag is a client-side JavaScript that brands implement within their website pages.  Once implemented, brands can take full advantage of features controlled via the Partnerize tag that compliment the Partnerize platform.
Partnerize Server to Server (s2s) Tracking

S2S tracking involves a direct, secure HTTP call, via POST or GET, to the Partnerize tracking API. This server-to-server communication method is transparent to the Web pages on a brand’s site, therefore no tracking tags are rendered within the Web browser, which increases the security and accuracy of the tracking.

Partnerize Google Tag Manager

Partnerize has a template for Google Tag Manager (GTM) which allows brands to easily integrate their conversion tracking using pre-built tracking tags into GTM.  

This template uses a 1st party cookie tracking solution via a Partnerize Click Reference (clickref). This ensures that the brand’s tracking is not reliant on 3rd party cookies, and is therefore ITP (and equivalent) compliant.  

The template also automatically reads the GTM dataLayer to easily format the data, to be able to send it to Partnerize for purchase tracking, which reduces the need for any complex integration and development work.

Partnerize Magento Partnerize has a Magento application which allows brands that use Magento as their eCommerce platform to easily integrate their conversion tracking.  This integration uses a 1st party cookie tracking solution via a Partnerize tag. This ensures that the brand’s tracking is not reliant on 3rd party cookies, and is therefore ITP (and equivalent) compliant.

This ensures that the brand’s tracking is not reliant on 3rd party cookies, and is therefore ITP (and equivalent) compliant.
