Trackum blog: tracking, consent and dashboards

How Trackum works: cookie banner, Consent Mode v2, dashboards, CRM handover and offline conversions, explained clearly.

Features

Cookie banner with Consent Mode v2: compliant, with no monthly license

Reject on the first layer, settings per purpose, Consent Mode v2 with every consent type and a record of each choice. No monthly license.

Features

Setting up Google Consent Mode v2 correctly: no warning in Tag Assistant

The most common warning in Tag Assistant says a tag read consent before a default was set. How to avoid it, and what else matters.

Features

Marketing dashboard with GA4 and Google Ads: every number on one page

Visitors, leads, orders, ad spend and ROAS per campaign on one page, compared with the previous period. One link, nothing to set up.

Features

Revenue from your CRM, shop and ERP in one dashboard: HubSpot, Shopify, Odoo and more

Google Analytics only sees what happens on the website. Orders by phone or email are missing. With a data connection, the real revenue from your system appears in the dashboard.

Features

Website leads with their source in your CRM: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Brevo, Salesforce or webhook

Where did the lead come from? The CRM handover writes source, campaign and click ID into the CRM with every inquiry, without a form plugin.

Features

Offline conversions: report sales from your CRM to Google Ads and Meta

Google Ads and Meta learn from what you report to them. If they only get form fills, they optimize for form fills. With offline conversions, they optimize for sales.

Features

Saving UTM parameters and gclid in forms: so no campaign gets lost

A visitor arrives from an ad, clicks through three pages and then submits the form. By then, the UTM parameters have long gone from the address. This is how they are kept.

Features

Cookie scanner with a cookie table for your privacy policy that stays up to date

Most cookie tables are out of date almost as soon as they go online. This one stays current, because it is checked regularly and updates itself.

Features

Tracking audit for GA4, Google Ads and Tag Manager: what is really measured

Duplicate page views, tags before consent, missing conversions: an audit shows what your tracking really does, and what needs doing.

Features

Setting up Google Ads conversion tracking without hunting for conversion IDs and labels

Conversion ID, label, conversion linker, consent: Google Ads tracking needs many parts. Trackum takes care of the legwork.
