LinkedIn Server Side Tracking is a way to measure the performance of your ad campaigns on LinkedIn without your data being affected by browser restrictions or privacy tools. This gives you more control over the data you share with LinkedIn and other platforms.
Instead of placing trackingpixels and cookies directly in your visitors’ browsers (known as client-side tracking), Server Side Tracking sends the data to your own server first. The data is then sent to LinkedIn.
Third-party cookies are a powerful tool for marketers, but a source of privacy concerns for Internet users. More and more browsers, software and smartphones are putting the block on third-party cookies. By 2024, all major players will ban these cookies. Server Side Tracking provides the solution to keep your data recording 100% accurate.
Not to worry, there is an alternative: Server side tracking. This is a solution that still allows you to measure how effective your LinkedIn ads are without violating people's privacy. Server Side Tracking lets you keep your tracking 100% accurate, even without using third-party cookies. That way you can continue to track which LinkedIn ads are successful and which are not, and you can continue to optimize your campaigns.
Accurate conversion tracking is essential for successful Linked campaigns. Unfortunately, with the blocking of third-party cookies, 10-30% of the data is already being missed. This is a problem because platforms such as Google and LinkedIn rely heavily on algorithms and data. The more marketing data you send to these platforms, the better your results can be.
Server Side Tracking is important for enriching your data so you can send it along to ad platforms. The Server Container acts as an HTTP API endpoint, allowing you to send data from a variety of sources to Google Tag Manager, such as your CRM data. This way, you can get additional user data into Google Tag Manager and send it along to the ad platforms.
Result ⇾ More conversions in your campaigns.
