Overview

Server-side Google Tag Manager deploys a tagging server on a first-party domain, proxying analytics and advertising requests through the organisation's own infrastructure. The /shared/analytics.*.js bundle is the sGTM-generated client-side loader. The /g/collect endpoint proxies measurement protocol hits. This vendor represents the sGTM transport layer, not the tags it proxies.

Common mistakes

  • 1Not configuring the sGTM container to respect Consent Mode signals from the client
  • 2Using the default sGTM domain instead of a first-party subdomain, negating the privacy benefit
  • 3Failing to set up proper CSP headers for the first-party sGTM domain
