The extensive use of the additional JavaScript code to derive data was starting to affect the website’s overall performance. As user privacy and ad blockers continue to evolve, tracking data from third-party sources is starting to get restricted.
Forces like ITP (Intelligent Tracking Prevention), ETP and ad/privacy blockers both deliberately target the capture of third-party analytics and advertising data on the client-side to prevent any data derivation.
With Server-side tracking enabled the scope of data management is greatly reduced, and the organization can exert more control over the transmission. Server-side tracking is not as susceptible to data challenges due to client-side issues like an interrupted connection or an overactive adblocker being installed.
Server-side tracking also has the advantage of removing the processing burden from a consumer’s device and moving it to the cloud.
