First-party tracking

Track the visitors GA4 never sees

Safari, Firefox and the ad blockers cost a client-side tag visitors it never records. Here collection runs server-side, live in 5 minutes, on your own subdomain if you choose.

Key takeaway

One event, collected once, does three jobs. It fills the gap in your analytics, it goes back to the ad platforms as a server-side conversion, and it is the row attribution runs on. Every tool downstream reads the same event, which is why the numbers stop disagreeing.
Collected once, used three times

Collection

Move the collector onto your own domain

Start on our collector. Move it onto your own subdomain when you want nothing left to block.

Your own subdomain

Give a blocklist no third-party host to match

Optional, and the reason to do it: on your own subdomain the snippet and the endpoint are both yours.

Server-side

Identify sessions without touching the browser

Sessions group by a hashed IP and user agent computed server-side, ephemeral and not reversible to a person.

Consent modes

Count every visitor, consent or not

Without consent, collection runs anonymously with no client-side storage. With consent, a first-party cookie makes the visitor persistent.

Default setup

Start on our collector in five minutes

Under 5KB compressed and async, one snippet in the head, or the native app on Shopify. No DNS change needed to begin.

Forwarding

The same event goes back to the platforms

The optimiser never learned from a conversion the browser never reported.

CAPI

Define a conversion once, send it everywhere

It maps to Meta Conversions API, Google Enhanced Conversions and the TikTok Events API.

Deduplication

Raise match rate **15 to 30%** without inflating conversions

Server-side events carry the key matching them to the browser pixel, so nothing is counted twice.

Consent travels with the event

Forward personal fields only for visitors who consented to marketing. Everyone else still counts in your own analytics, they simply leave without identifiers attached.

Shopify webhooks

Catch the purchase a browser pixel loses

Purchases are read from Shopify webhooks or your backend.

Ownership

The raw events stay yours to take away

First-party means the data belongs to you, and the export proves it.

Cloud export

Export to a bucket you already own

Events and attribution tables export to your Google Cloud Storage or Amazon S3 bucket, ready for BigQuery or Looker Studio.

Parquet or CSV

Receive the data in the format your warehouse reads

Parquet for columnar analytics, CSV when a spreadsheet is the endpoint, both on the schema the dashboard reads.

Retention

Query a year-old cohort without asking anyone

Events are kept with no retention limit, and nothing gets aggregated away at a plan boundary.

One snippet in the head, the same as installing a tag manager. Shopify has a native integration that needs no code.

One stream, three uses

The same event stream feeds multi-touch attribution, AI referrer detection and the Trust Center's anomaly investigations.

What the same event does next

Collected once, it is forwarded to the ad platforms, recovers the sales the browser never reported, and meets whatever else you connect.
