#GTM #GoogleTagManager #GTMTips

My latest article covers a "cookieless" scenario on server-side #GoogleTagManager, where you might want to prevent the #GoogleAnalytics4 Client from accessing the FPID cookie under certain conditions.

For example, you might want to support FPID only for a subset of all GA4 measurement IDs collected by server-side GTM, or you might want to prevent FPID access when a custom consent setting requires so.

This article is a walkthrough of how to do that.

Mr. Sebastian Pospichil of TRKKN fame authored a guest post on my blog (www.simoahava.com).

This article shows you how to setup "Enhanced Link Attribution" for GA4. With just a single #GoogleTagManager tag and some variables, you can track each and every navigation event with metadata on which link / link-like element was clicked. You can use this to build heatmaps of the most used navigational elements on the site, for example.
