New blog post! 📣 Server-side GTM now fetches GA4 configs automatically when you override the Measurement ID. No more manual enrichment—key settings like conversions are applied automatically! Splitting those data streams without losing critical details. 👉 www.simoahava.com/gtmtips/sgtm...

📣 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.

Quality feedback on the Standard Deviation Podcast YouTube channel. Luckily I can read between the lines, and James (who is obviously held hostage by right-wing neocons, forcing him to spout such nonsense), I promise we'll go extra-woke in your honor for the remaining episodes of the season!

It's been a long time coming, but finally I managed to update www.cookiestatus.com. 1. Removed Cliqz from the home page. 2. Made the table header sticky. 3. Added details about Chrome's storage partitioning. I'm still proud of this resource, but it is a chore to maintain! #measure #privacy
