Piwik Pro has adapted to this change, allowing users to harness server-side tracking capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>This article delves into the intricacies of <strong>setting up Piwik Pro&#8217;s serverside tracking through the widely-used Google Tag Manager (GTM)<\/strong>. By integrating serverside tracking via GTM, businesses can achieve more reliable data collection, enhanced user privacy, and compliance with stringent data protection laws.<\/p>\n<p>We will explore the benefits of this approach, provide a step-by-step guide on implementation, and discuss best practices for getting the most out of your serverside tracking efforts. Whether you&#8217;re a privacy-conscious organization or simply looking to refine your analytics, understanding how to leverage Piwik Pro with GTM will be a significant asset.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we are using a Core version of the Piwik Pro license, which requires a GTM setup. Enterprise users can also opt for a solution for Serverside tracking without Google Tag Manager which is explained <a href=\"https:\/\/help.piwik.pro\/support\/getting-started\/install-a-first-party-collector-server-side\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; title=&#8221;The benefits of server-side tracking&#8221; id=&#8221;1699006620579-0&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1699006620579-7&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>The benefits of server-side tracking<\/h2>\n<p>Serverside tracking has several benefits compared to clientside tracking:<\/p>\n<h3>Improved Data Accuracy<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking can provide more accurate data because it is less susceptible to ad blockers, browser limitations, and user settings that can interfere with client-side tracking. This leads to a more comprehensive and reliable data collection process.<\/p>\n<h3>Reduced Ad Blocker Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Ad blockers often block client-side tracking scripts, which can result in incomplete or skewed data. Server-side tracking can help mitigate this issue since the tracking requests are made from the server and are less likely to be blocked by ad blockers.<\/p>\n<h3>Enhanced Privacy Compliance<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking can be designed to be more privacy-friendly. It allows website owners to process and collect data in a way that aligns with privacy regulations and user consent preferences. This can help in maintaining compliance with data protection laws like GDPR and CCPA.<\/p>\n<h3>Increased Security<\/h3>\n<p>With server-side tracking, sensitive data and tracking logic are stored on the server rather than the client-side, making it more challenging for malicious actors to manipulate or compromise the tracking data.<\/p>\n<h3>Better Performance<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking can offload some of the processing burden from the user&#8217;s device, potentially leading to faster page load times and improved overall website or app performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Cross-Device Tracking<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking can help in cross-device tracking and attribution by consolidating user data from different devices into a single user profile, offering a more holistic view of user behavior.<\/p>\n<h3>Custom Data Processing<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking allows for more extensive data processing and customization. Data can be transformed, enriched, and integrated with other systems, enabling more advanced analytics and reporting capabilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Scalability<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking can handle high volumes of traffic more effectively. It can scale horizontally by adding more server resources to accommodate increasing data loads.<\/p>\n<h3>Mitigating Data Loss<\/h3>\n<p>In client-side tracking, users might leave a webpage before all tracking scripts execute, leading to data loss. Server-side tracking can mitigate this issue by ensuring that tracking data is sent and processed reliably.<\/p>\n<h3>A\/B Testing and Experimentation<\/h3>\n<p>Server-side tracking can facilitate A\/B testing and experimentation by allowing you to control and manipulate user experiences and track their interactions from the server-side, making it easier to manage experiments.[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; title=&#8221;The challenges of server-side tracking&#8221; id=&#8221;1699006620588-10&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1699006620588-4&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>The challenges of server-side tracking<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While server-side tracking offers several benefits, it also comes with its own challenges, such as increased server infrastructure costs and complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, a hybrid approach combining both methods may be the most effective solution.

So we are actually tagging the whole website with a GA4 tag as we would be doing with a Client Side installation, but we send the collected data to the sGTM with the First Part Collector.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43240\" src=\"https:\/\/clicktrust.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Image-4-1-1024x453.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"265\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The main GA4 tag needs to be configured as follows:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-43244\" src=\"https:\/\/clicktrust.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Image-5-1-1024x798.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"798\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The value of the \u201cserver_container_url\u201d you can find here:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43247\" src=\"https:\/\/clicktrust.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Image-6-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"711\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clicktrust.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Image-6-1.png 711w, https:\/\/clicktrust.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Image-6-1-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Additional events can be sent to the sGTM by using the normal GA4 event tags.

We can now send the data we collected from the website to the different platforms we would like to use. In the first place, that is Piwik Pro.<\/p>\n<h3>Use a custom tagging template<\/h3>\n<p>For this, we need to add a tag template for Piwik. The template that is mentioned on the Piwik Pro website is a bit outdated, as it only takes the structure of Universal Analytics into account. We are using the GA4 tag as the first-party data collector.<\/p>\n<p>As a solution, we have implemented this <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/endgameapp\/piwikpro-gtm-serverside-ga4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tag template from GitHub. <\/a>This tagging template allows us to transfer the data from the GA4 structure to the Piwik structure and send the correct data to Piwik Pro.<\/p>\n<p>To add the tagging template to the sGTM you can follow the following steps:<\/p>\n<p>1) Go to the section \u201cTemplates\u201d and click \u201c new in the Tag Templates<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-43253\" src=\"https:\/\/clicktrust.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Image-10-1-1024x405.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"405\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2) Click the 3 dots in the top right corner<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-43256\" src=\"https:\/\/clicktrust.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Image-11-1-1024x490.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3) Select \u201cImport\u201d and select the template that you downloaded from the GitHub page<\/p>\n<p>4) Click \u201cSave\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Create your tags<\/h3>\n<p>When the tag template is created, you can create a tag in the sGTM as usual.<\/p>\n<p>What we have learned is that the tagging template doesn\u2019t work when you are using variables for the Account Address and Site or App ID. Just put them directly in the tag.<\/p>\n<p>As for the trigger, we use all the events (note: since GA4 a page view is also part of the events) that the Google Analytics Client claims.[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; title=&#8221;Piwik Consent Manager&#8221; id=&#8221;1699006620630-0&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1699006620630-5&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Piwik Consent Manager<\/h2>\n<p>The big benefit of using Piwik Pro is that you have an integrated Consent Manager included in both the paid and the free versions. Since we now have Piwik Pro running in the Serverside configuration we\u2019ll need to make some adaptations to the configuration of the consent manager.<\/p>\n<p>Configuring the Piwik Pro Consent manager in GTM is an easy 4-step process:<\/p>\n<h3>1) Put the Consent Manager on the client side<\/h3>\n<p>If we put Piwik Pro Serverside only the data on the analytics is transferred, but the consent manager is no longer working.<\/p>\n<p>Fixing this can only be done by putting the Consent Manager on the client side. Since the Consent Manager is integrated into the Piwik Pro tracking code, we need to install the full code in the cGTM. By doing this, we need to make sure that we are not double-tracking from the Client side and Server side.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Deactivate the default Piwik Tag in the Piwik Pro Tag Manager<\/h3>\n<p>For this, we can simply deactivate the Piwik tag that is in the Piwik Pro Tag Manager container by default. We don\u2019t need this tag to collect data and send it to Piwik Pro since we have the Piwik Pro tag in the sGTM that does that for us.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Consent Manager integration with Google Tag Manager<\/h3>\n<p>Now that the Consent Manager is working again, we need to use the Consent Manager to block the GA4 collector tags based on the consent given. For this, we refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.piwik.pro\/support\/integrations\/consent-manager-integration-with-google-tag-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piwik Pro installation guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Adapt the First Party Data collector triggers<\/h3>\n<p>The only triggers you\u2019ll need to adapt are the First Party Data collectors that send the data over to the sGTM. In each of the triggers you\u2019ll have to include and extra rule that checks what consent is given, in this case \u201canalytics_consent\u201d is \u201con\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the sGTM, you don\u2019t need to change anything. As long as the cGTM is not sending the data to the sGTM, the sGTM can\u2019t forward it to the analytics platforms in this case Piwik Pro.<\/p>\n<h3>The downsides of this method<\/h3>\n<p>The only downside of this method is that the consent reporting won\u2019t work anymore.[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; title=&#8221;Conclusion&#8221; id=&#8221;1699006620637-1&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1699006620638-4&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Although GTM is now GDPR-compliant, we don\u2019t have a view on how long this will remain the case.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the installation of Piwik Pro Serverside is only possible through Google Tag Manager if you are on the Core version. IF you are on the paid version, our recommendation is to follow the Piwik Pro solution that they mention on the blog.<\/p>\n<p>Installing Piwik Pro Serverside through GTM is a relatively easy process, but there is a need for Piwik Pro to also develop their Tag Manager further to be able to run on a server similar to the sGTM so that we can do an easy Serverside installation of Piwik Pro independent of Google products.[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][\/tabbed_section][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221;
