The AnyTrack Tracking Tag

The AnyTrack Tag is a lightweight JS tracking tag that you add to your website's head section. It should load across your entire website and doesn't need to be customized to track standard events.

Overview

The AnyTrack Tag captures campaign identifiers (from the UTM Tracking Template) assigned to a visitor after clicking on an ad. Therefore, it must be present on the landing page as well as any other pages involved in the customer journey. Additionally, the AnyTrack Tag assigns a client ID to the arriving visitor and generates the Click ID if the visitor triggers a conversion event.

The AnyTrack Tag also initializes the anytrack function, which is essential for generating the atclid and monitoring client-side events, such as outbound clicks, form submissions, pageviews, and Custom Event Tracking triggered via event codes.

Furthermore, the AnyTrack Tag orchestrates all your connected ad pixels and ensures the functionality of your installed integrations. Another critical use of the AnyTrack Tag is auto-tagging links from affiliate offers and e-commerce platforms for accurate tracking.

Therefore, it is essential to verify your tag is set across your funnels.

Privacy Browsers Limitations

When visitors to your tracked funnels and websites use privacy-focused browsers like Brave (which holds approximately 1% of the global browser market share), all tracking and analytics technologies, including JavaScript (JS), are blocked by default. As a result, proper tracking is impossible. Visitors using the default settings of such browsers will not be tracked.

Regardless of the method used, please verify your AnyTrack Tag installation, by checking for the success message in Property Settings, and also by using the AnyTrack Pixel Helper.

AutoTrack Function for Engagement Events

What are engagement events:

Engagement events are events that occur on your site, such as outbound clicks and form submissions. They are considered as "micro-conversions" since they give an indication of how your audience engages with your website content.

The AutoTrack is a function provided in the AnyTrack tracking TAG that automatically sends engagement events such as outbound clicks and form submissions to your analytics and pixels.

Outbound Clicks

Outbound clicks are usually links that point to external URLs such as affiliate links. By default, AnyTrack will track and send these events to your analytics and pixels.
In addition, links with the attribute rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored" will trigger an OutboundClick event which will be sent to your pixels and analytics. Learn about Link tracking.

Any standard form submission occurring on your site will generate a formSubmit event in AnyTrack, which will be forwarded to your analytics and pixels. Learn about Form Tracking.

Page views

The AnyTrack Tag will record a PageView event every time a visitor loads the page or lands on the page. You can see the event with the AnyTrack Pixel Helper.
