MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management
MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management collects first-party customer data on the server and routes it to advertising, marketing, and analytics vendors.
What MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management is
MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management collects first-party customer data on the server and routes it to advertising, marketing, and analytics vendors. For common destinations, this can reduce or eliminate client-side tags. A single code library handles page, behavioral, and identity data, including third-party identifier resolution. Before data is routed, customers can map, transform, and filter incoming parameters. Sync Injector adds addressable cookie-based IDs and URL decorators to the event stream for third-party identity resolution. The integration library lists destinations such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, Braze, Salesforce, and Snowflake. Organizations can deploy the product on their own cloud or use a single-tenant environment hosted by MetaRouter on Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure. Self-hosted customers are responsible for infrastructure costs, estimated according to anticipated event volume and integrations. The custom enterprise plan is scoped to use cases, event volume, and infrastructure footprint, with no per-user or per-profile fees. Pricing is on request.
