It's a code or snippet that:

A tag is a piece of JavaScript code that most vendors require users to integrate into their web and mobile sites to perform a task such as:

  • advertising,
  • live chat,
  • and product recommendations.

In addition to supporting your digital marketing efforts, these ‘tags’ collect unique visitor behavior information.

Example:

  • anonymous information about the user
    • browser,
    • location,
  • custom targeting from the publisher
    • ad units (ad unit name, )
    • ad size
    • custom targeting (key-values)

The information gathered helps you define:

  • the type of audience who was interested in a offer,
  • which campaigns generate more sales,
  • which ads work best with each persona,
  • etc.
