Stop Losing Conversion Data. Implement Server-Side Tracking.
Ad blockers, iOS privacy updates, and third-party cookie restrictions are silently erasing your conversion data. Server-side tracking moves data collection to your infrastructure — where nothing can block it.
Why Client-Side Tracking Is No Longer Enough
Ad blockers blocking pixels
Over 40% of users run ad blockers that prevent browser-based pixels from firing at all.
Third-party cookies disappearing
Browser restrictions on third-party cookies are eliminating the data your attribution depends on.
iOS 14+ signal loss
Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework has reduced Meta and Google ad attribution accuracy significantly.
Page speed degradation
Dozens of client-side tags slow your pages down, hurting Core Web Vitals and conversion rates.
What Is Server-Side Tracking?
Server-Side Collection
Data collected on your server — bypassing ad blockers and browser restrictions completely.
Meta CAPI Integration
Recover lost iOS and ad-blocker conversion signal for Meta ad campaigns.
First-Party Data Pipeline
Own your data infrastructure — not dependent on third-party cookies.
Faster Page Loads
Remove client-side tag overhead and improve Core Web Vitals scores.
What's Included
Server-Side GTM Setup
sGTM container deployed on your subdomain with client and server tag configuration.
Meta Conversions API (CAPI)
Server-side Meta event integration with browser event deduplication to avoid double-counting.
Google Ads Enhanced Conversions
First-party data sent to Google Ads to recover conversion signal lost to cookie restrictions.
First-Party Data Pipeline
Data collection infrastructure you own — not dependent on third-party cookies or browser permissions.
Consent Mode Integration
GA4 Consent Mode v2 configured to recover modelled conversion data for users who decline cookies.

How We Implement Server-Side Tracking
Current State Audit
We measure your existing data loss — quantifying exactly how much conversion data your current client-side setup is missing.
Architecture Design
We design your server-side infrastructure — sGTM endpoint, data pipelines, and first-party data strategy.
Implementation
We deploy server-side GTM, configure Meta CAPI, Google Ads Enhanced Conversions, and other required integrations.
Validation & Comparison
We compare data volumes before and after, confirm deduplication is working, and validate accuracy across all platforms.

Platforms We Implement Server-Side
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between client-side and server-side tracking?
Client-side tracking fires tags and pixels in the user's browser, where they can be blocked by ad blockers, browser privacy settings, and iOS restrictions. Server-side tracking sends data from your server directly to analytics platforms, bypassing all browser-level blocking.
How much data am I losing with client-side tracking only?
Data loss varies by industry and audience, but studies consistently show 20–40% of conversion events are lost due to ad blockers, iOS privacy settings, and cookie restrictions. For audiences with high technical sophistication, this can exceed 50%.
What is Meta Conversions API (CAPI) and why do I need it?
Meta CAPI is a server-to-server integration that sends conversion events directly from your server to Meta, bypassing the browser-based Meta Pixel. It recovers signal lost to iOS 14+ restrictions and ad blockers, improving your Meta ad campaign optimisation and attribution accuracy.
Will server-side tracking fix my Meta Ads attribution?
Yes, significantly. Implementing CAPI alongside the Meta Pixel (with deduplication) typically recovers 20–35% of lost conversion events, giving Meta's algorithm more signal to optimise your campaigns effectively.
Is server-side tracking GDPR compliant?
Server-side tracking itself is a data collection method, not a compliance decision. You still need a consent management platform and must respect user consent choices. However, server-side architecture gives you more precise control over what data is collected and shared, making consent management more accurate.
How long does server-side tracking implementation take?
A standard sGTM implementation with Meta CAPI and GA4 takes 3–5 weeks. More complex setups involving multiple ad platforms, custom first-party data pipelines, or enterprise infrastructure take 6–10 weeks.
