I decided to make a Server-side GTM Template that can write Time To Live (TTL) directly to Firestore since I don't know about any generic solution that can do this. No more hacks with Timestamp and Cloud (Run) functions to delete documents. It's open source.

Write TTL (Time To Live) to Firestore using Server-side GTM - Savio.no

Write Firestore TTL from Server-side Google Tag Manager using the Firestore Writer with TTL Template. Reduce costs and simplify setup.

The GA cookie value is now stored in different format. I have seen the format changes from one Event to another within the same session. Old format: GS1.1.1746298084.1.1.1746298084.0.0.1109558877 New format: GS2.1.s1746298084$o1$g1$t1746298857$j0$l0$h1109558877

I have really been missing the possibility to write Time To Live to Firestore from Server-side GTM. And because of that, I decided to make the Template myself. #gtm #sgtm #GoogleTagManager

I have been using the Cloud Functions concept from this blog post from @teamsimmer.com in many different ways: www.teamsimmer.com/2022/12/07/h... But since Google is moving to Google Cloud Run Functions instead, I tried to see if I could make it work with Cloud Run Functions. I could.

FBI, CIA and the US Army exist to protect USA. If they don't take down Trump, Vance and others that are in Putins pocket, they have failed their mission. Then there are only 3 options left. The people of the USA stands up, dictatorship, or a civil war. Staying silent will not help.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

📣 Server-side GTM and Container Registry deprecation 📣 If you've received email about Container Registry deprecation, and you're wondering if you need to do something about your SGTM deployment – don't worry. Google has migrated the Docker image to Artifact Registry – you don't need to do anything.

You don't need enemies when you have friends like the USA. Yes, the toll tariffs is the orange clown, but he just delivered what he promised, and the USA elected him. Someone said no politics here, but this is simply data. The President of the USA doesn't understand data.

So, my GA4 was hammered with bot/spam traffic again. But my duplicate GA4 Property was not. This filter works because this bot/spam traffic doesn't go through Server-side GTM.

By coincidence, I disocvered a new event and some incorrect parameters showing up in a GA4 property today. Had to waste some time figuring out where this came from (app). Time to ramp up my anomaly detection + new events & parameters detection solution. #GA4

Making dynamic queries based on availability of BigQuery tables. If events_fresh_ exist, only query this table. Else, query events_ & events_intraday_ (if it exist). If yesterday doesn't exist in events_, query events_intraday_ against yesterday + today, else only against today. #BigQuery #GA4

So, Gemini in BQ will now cost money. Must admit I haven't used it much, used ChatGPT instead. You have to torture ChatGPT to get things in the right direction, but I found ChatGPT to be more helpful than Gemini in BQ. Just me?
