What is Google Tag Manager?

Google Tag Manager is a tool management system that allows you to quickly and easily add and update code fragments or snippets to a web page, such as analytics, conversion tracking and remarketing code, without needing to edit the code of the website.

What are Tags?

Tags are segments of code provided by marketing, analytics and support vendors. With Tags, you can easily integrate different products and services directly into your website.

What is the Zemanta Pixel?

Zemanta Pixel is a snippet of code that allows you to gather valuable information about visitors' actions on your website. It comes in the form of a JavaScript tag, which can be downloaded directly from Google Tag Manager. The Zemanta Pixel contains code that makes a call to our servers and stores user information in the first-party website cookie. After implementation, it is crucial to confirm that the Zemanta pixel is firing on your page.
