By hosting the server container on a subdomain of your site, you'll create a first-party tracking environment with fewer browser restrictions.
The server container handles all the heavy lifting by sending data to various destinations. This reduces the load on your server and increases your site's speed. However, remember that you'll need to pay for the server hosting your container, whether it's Google Cloud or another provider.
PixelYourSite GA4 tags can send data to a server container, so the basic stuff works. Native Google Cloud containers along with third party providers like Stape.io are supported.
A server container can send data to APIs like Meta CAPI, Pinterest API, and TikTok API. You can send your tag events with PixelYourSite and your API events with a GTM server container that receives data from your GA4 tag, also controlled by our plugin. Deduplication is possible because we use the same event IDs for all our tags.
We're planning to add support for extra features from providers like Stape.io.
