If you’re transitioning to a different method of implementing the MNTN pixel, such as direct installation on your site, Shopify app, or through another tag management system, you’ll need to remove the existing pixel from Google Tag Manager (GTM).

Keeping multiple pixel implementations can lead to duplicate tracking, inaccurate reporting, and data discrepancies. This guide will walk you through the steps to properly uninstall the MNTN pixel from GTM to ensure clean and accurate performance tracking.


Steps for Uninstalling the MNTN Tracking Pixel from GTM

  1. Log in to Google Tag Manager.

    • Visit Google Tag Manager and log in to your account.

    • Select the container associated with the website where the MNTN Pixel is currently installed.

  2. Delete the MNTN Pixel tags.

    • In the GTM dashboard, navigate to the "Tags" section.

    • Search for tags named or labeled as "MNTN Pixel" or related identifiers (e.g., “MNTN Page View” or “MNTN Conversion”).

    • Delete the MNTN Pixel tags.

    • Click on the MNTN Pixel tag you want to remove.

    • Select the "Delete" option in the top-right corner of the tag editor.

  3. Remove associated triggers (if applicable).

    • Navigate to the "Triggers" section.

    • Identify any triggers specifically created for the MNTN Pixel (e.g., triggers named "MNTN Conversion Trigger").

    • Click on these triggers and delete them to ensure they no longer attempt to fire removed tags.

  4. Preview and validate changes.

    • Use GTM’s Preview Mode to confirm that no MNTN Pixel tags or related triggers remain active.

  5. Publish your changes.

    • After confirming that the MNTN Pixel has been successfully removed, return to the GTM dashboard.

    • Click "Submit" to publish your changes.

    • Add a version name and description (e.g., “Removed MNTN Pixel tags and triggers”) for better tracking of container updates.


FAQ

  1. Do you have to remove the associated triggers to unpublish the MNTN tracking or conversion pixel?

    • No, deleting the MNTN pixels will ensure that they do not fire; however, you can remove the associated trigger if it is not being used by another pixel tag.
