The AnyTrack Pixel Helper is a free Chrome extension that installs in your browser, enabling you to inspect the setup of the Properties you are tracking with AnyTrack. Also verify the presence of your Tracking Tags and the code of your snippets. The extension provides you with event log data, allowing you to track the action right where it happens.
Browser Events Onlythe Tracking Tag Helper supports exclusively browser-based events. Purchase events tracked via server-side tracking (postback, webhooks, or API) will not be displayed. Refer to each integration to see which events are triggered through the AnyTrack JS Tag.

- A Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, or Brave) that supports Chrome Web extensions

What the Extension Shows
When you open the Tracking Tag Helper, it displays the following information for the current page:
- AnyTrack Tag Status — Confirms the AnyTrack Tag is present and shows the associated Property ID.
- Tracking Tags Detected — Lists all Tracking Tags found on the page (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads tag, TikTok Pixel). This helps you verify that your ad platform Tracking Tags are firing correctly.
- Event Log — Shows browser-based events as they happen in real time. Each event displays the event name, associated parameters, and which Tracking Tags received the data. Use this to confirm that clicks, form submissions, and other actions are being tracked.
How to Use the Event Log
The event log is the most useful part of the extension for debugging. To test your setup:
- Open the Tracking Tag Helper on your website.
- Perform the action you want to track (click a link, submit a form, visit a page).
- Watch the event log for the corresponding event to appear.
- Verify the event name matches what you expect and that the correct Tracking Tags received it.
If an event does not appear, check that the action triggers a browser-based event and that your ad blocker is disabled.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Extension icon stays grey | AnyTrack Tag is not installed on the page | Verify the tag is present by checking your page source for the AnyTrack script. See Install the AnyTrack Tag. |
| Pixels not showing | Ad blocker is active | Disable your ad blocker or whitelist the website. Ad blockers commonly block Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and similar scripts. |
| Events not appearing in the log | The event is server-side, not browser-based | the Tracking Tag Helper only detects browser-based events. Server-side events (postback, webhooks, API) are tracked in the Event Log inside your AnyTrack dashboard. |
| Extension not working after install | Browser needs a refresh | Close and reopen the browser tab. If the issue persists, remove and reinstall the extension. |
