Website operators need a new way to identify users, learn about their activities, and share data with partners in a way that\u2019s privacy-compliant and not browser-dependent.<\/p>\n<p>Server-side tagging (SST) is a part of this next evolutionary leap forward. It\u2019s a sophisticated and privacy-focused solution that\u2019s gaining momentum as a way to help companies collect online data.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-server-side-tagging\">What is server-side tagging?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Server-side tagging is a different approach to tracking data. Instead of relying on third-party services like Google or HubSpot, you shift control to your company. Using server-side tagging, both your website and your users&#8217; data are hosted on a secure, centralized server, giving you more control and protection over users\u2019 personal data, as required by data privacy regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Server-side tags act as a centralized, protective buffer between your users and third-party vendors seeking to track data. Therefore, third parties do not have direct access to data collection from websites, including users\u2019 personal data. This helps ensure better control and security.<\/p>\n<h4>Google Tag Manager server-side tagging<\/h4>\n<p>Google Tag Manager&#8217;s (GTM) server-side tagging is a powerful tool that enables website operators to manage tags, triggers, and variables on a server instead of the user&#8217;s browser. It\u2019s a popular and widely adopted solution among marketers and developers because of its ease of use.<\/p>\n<p>GTM\u2019s server-side tagging shifts tag management from the user&#8217;s browser to a server managed by your company, offering benefits like improved website performance, better data quality control, and enhanced privacy compliance. It&#8217;s ideal for companies needing more data control and better website performance, especially those handling sensitive data or prioritizing privacy compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-server-side-tracking\">What is server-side tracking?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Although server-side tracking and tagging both use a server for data management, the two concepts shouldn\u2019t be confused. Server-side tagging refers to the implementation of tracking tags on the server side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devknowledge-hub\/server-side-tagging-and-how-it-will-impact-consent\/\">Server-side tracking<\/a> refers to gathering data straight from the server instead of solely depending on the client&#8217;s browser. This method boosts data accuracy, lessens the workload on the client&#8217;s side, and can enhance your website\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<h4>Google Analytics server-side tracking<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devknowledge-hub\/google-analytics-and-gdpr-compliance-rulings\/\">Google Analytics<\/a> is a popular tool for server-side tracking because it\u2019s user-friendly, integrates with many existing platforms, and has a strong community of users and developers who provide guidance and support.<\/p>\n<p>Google Analytics server-side tracking involves sending data directly from the server to Google Analytics, thus bypassing the user&#8217;s browser. Doing so improves your website performance, enhances data privacy, and offers better data quality control.<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"uc-cta_69ebc9889fcf6\" class=\"uc-cta uc-cta--button uc-cta--primary uc-ctx--blue\">\n    <div class=\"uc-cta__inner container\">\n        <div class=\"uc-cta__content\">\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__heading no-default-margin\">Get our easy GDPR checklist to manage consent for GDPR compliance<\/div>\n                                                                                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"uc-cta__section\">\n                                        <a id=\"66148515-ee7b-4f42-b8ca-7df287ffc3b2\" class=\"uc-button uc-button-size-m uc-button-contained  no-default-link-decoration\" href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devresources\/gdpr-checklist\/\" target=\"\"><span>Download GDPR Checklist<\/span><\/a>                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <script type=\"module\">\n        new Uc_Cta(document.getElementById(\"uc-cta_69ebc9889fcf6\"));\n    <\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-client-side-tagging-vs-server-side-tagging\">Client-side tagging vs. Server-side tagging<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Both client-side and server-side tagging enable the collection and delivery of data, and each has benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Client-side tagging is the most widely used system. It uses tags and the user&#8217;s browser data, which is directly transmitted to one or more servers. Tag management uses this functionality to share data from your website with marketing technology partners. However, there is no centralized control over the data or access to it in this model.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33180\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devwp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/uc-server-side-tag-manager.png\" alt=\"Traditiona website configuration without server-side Tag Manager\" width=\"1228\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In server-side tagging, data from tags or pixels is sent to your web server. Then, this is forwarded to destination servers, like those used by marketing partners or analytics providers. This method offers centralized control over data access and usage conditions. There is one data stream, which both enables and controls relevant services\u2019 access to the data. It enables granular user consent, allowing some web technologies while blocking others.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33192\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devwp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/uc_server_side_tag.png\" alt=\"Website configuration with server side Tag Manager\" width=\"770\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our partner Tealium has an excellent article to learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/tealium.com\/resource\/fundamentals\/choosing-client-side-server-side-or-both-for-data-collection-and-delivery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Choosing Between Client-side and Server-side Data Management<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-is-server-side-tagging-for\">Who is server-side tagging for?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Server-side tagging is best for organizations seeking enhanced data control, improved privacy, and better data quality. For example, organizations dealing with sensitive personal data can use server-side tagging to control and modify data before distributing it to third parties.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, server-side tagging benefits marketing teams aiming to improve visibility throughout the purchasing cycle and boost conversion rates and return on investment from advertising efforts. This approach offers enhanced control over data collection and distribution, resulting in more precise insights and improved decision-making capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, website visitors benefit from improved privacy and security for their data. As once their consent choices are received, it can be better communicated across systems to ensure no data collection or sharing without their consent. Thus boosting trust levels with your website visitors and customers.<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"uc-cta_69ebc988a065a\" class=\"uc-cta uc-cta--button uc-cta--primary uc-ctx--blue\">\n    <div class=\"uc-cta__inner container\">\n        <div class=\"uc-cta__content\">\n                            <div class=\"uc-cta__label like-label-m\">Usercentrics solution<\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__heading no-default-margin\">Usercentrics can help you implement server-side tracking<\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__description\">\n                    <p>Third-party tracking is soon coming to an end.

This shift bolsters website security by limiting access to the website and its data, making it foundational for establishing a corporate data strategy despite the increased costs, such as those for a dedicated web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, as third-party cookies disappear, small businesses will also benefit from these technologies. Server-side tagging leverages first-party server capabilities to bring tracking closer to website content, preventing ad blockers from blocking content and thwarting Safari&#8217;s Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) from shortening HTTP cookie lifetimes or deleting those cookies entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"uc-cta_69ebc988a276d\" class=\"uc-cta uc-cta--button uc-cta--size-7 uc-cta--primary uc-ctx--blue\">\n    <div class=\"uc-cta__inner container\">\n        <div class=\"uc-cta__content\">\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__heading no-default-margin\">Check if your website meets key privacy standards<\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__description\">\n                    <p>Quickly check if your site meets legal privacy standards and ad platform rules.

This approach also limits access to and control over collected data, with companies retaining control rather than third-party vendors having direct access. Improved targeting for ads is possible, enabling personalization while preserving privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Although server-side tagging may reduce visibility for users in their browsers regarding data collection and sharing, Usercentrics is collaborating with tagging platforms to restore this visibility. By integrating the <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devwebsite-consent-management\/\">Consent Management Platform<\/a> (CMP), information about data collection and purposes will be extracted and shared with website visitors through the consent banner.<\/p>\n<h4>Server-side tagging benefits for third-party vendors<\/h4>\n<p>SST provides third-party vendors, such as those offering customer data platforms or data warehouse solutions, with reassurance that granular consent has been obtained from users regarding their data and any associated activities. This reduces the risk of data privacy violations and unauthorized data access since there is more control.<\/p>\n<p>Companies can also develop better communication and shared insights with vendors as the business centralizes its control over website behavior and determines data flow.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-i-implement-server-side-tagging\">How can I implement server-side tagging?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>To implement server-side tagging, you will need to work with a tag management system that supports server-side tagging. You will also need to set up a web server or use a cloud-based solution that supports server-side tagging. Once you have these in place, you can start implementing server-side tagging on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-server-side-tagging-gdpr-compliant\">Is server-side tagging GDPR-compliant?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The short answer is yes, server-side tagging can be <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devgdpr\/\">GDPR-compliant<\/a>. However, you will need to ensure that you obtain granular consent from users for their data and any activities undertaken with it. You will also need to have appropriate data protection measures in place to protect user data.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using Google Tag Manager server-side tagging, you can pair that with <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devknowledge-hub\/google-consent-mode\/#how-does-google-consent-mode-work-with-google-tag-manager\">Google Consent Mode<\/a> to make your tags more GDPR compliant. As it allows websites to communicate a user&#8217;s cookie consent choices effectively to Google tags. This mode works by adjusting tag behavior based on the user&#8217;s preferences, ensuring that tags respect these choices.<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"uc-cta_69ebc988ab3f6\" class=\"uc-cta uc-cta--illustration uc-cta--primary uc-ctx--blue\">\n    <div class=\"uc-cta__inner container\">\n        <div class=\"uc-cta__content\">\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__heading no-default-margin\">Usercentrics CMPs are Google-certified for Consent Mode<\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__description\">\n                    <p>Usercentrics Web &#038; Apps CMP are Google-certified, fully supporting Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) and Google Consent Mode v2.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"uc-cta__buttons\">\n                    <a id=\"4c16d3d2-7bc1-4023-9dba-94583a592c64\" class=\"uc-button uc-button-size-m uc-button-contained  no-default-link-decoration\" href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devknowledge-hub\/google-cmp-partner-program-usercentrics\/\" target=\"\"><span>Start free trial<\/span><\/a>                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"uc-cta__section\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"uc-cta__section__img-wrapper\">\n                                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.dev\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/10\/google-cta.svg?v=1776852039\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Google CMP Partner\" \/>                            <\/div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <script type=\"module\">\n        new Uc_Cta(document.getElementById(\"uc-cta_69ebc988ab3f6\"));\n    <\/script>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that implementing server-side tags doesn\u2019t automatically make you compliant with the <a href=\"https:\/\/usercentrics-poc.psapp.devknowledge-hub\/eprivacy-everything-you-need-to-know-about-it\/\">ePrivacy Directive<\/a>, which is a set of privacy compliance guidelines separate from the GDPR, which complements and expands upon the GDPR&#8217;s data protection regulations.<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"uc-cta_69ebc988ab93d\" class=\"uc-cta uc-cta--button uc-cta--primary uc-ctx--blue\">\n    <div class=\"uc-cta__inner container\">\n        <div class=\"uc-cta__content\">\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__heading no-default-margin\">Cookie Consent Management for Enterprises Following the GDPR<\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"uc-cta__description\">\n                    <p>Adherence to privacy compliance is now becoming a determining success factor.
