Questions tagged [google-tag-manager]

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a free Tag Manager solution for web or mobile. It automates the management of JavaScript code sequences which are used to send 'tags' from your website or mobile app to third parties. Supported tags include those from Google and DoubleClick (Google Analytics and DoubleClick Floodlight Sales, for example), and selected 'Certified Vendor' tags.

Basic Implementation

Deploy and update measurement tags on your websites and mobile apps without major code changes and app releases.

Advanced Implementation

Advanced implementations rely on using the Google Tag Manager API and/or the "data layer". Careful planning and rules will help keep required minor changes from bloating application source code.

Best for: enhanced ecommerce tracking, compliance or security requirements, advanced analytics, AB testing, User Feedback Loops, or other custom configurations.
