Google Tag Manager Configuration (LB 2.0)

Written by Marija Golubovic

Overview Google Tag Manager & Analytics

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a Tag Management System (TMS) that allows you to quickly and easily update measurement codes and related code fragments collectively known as tags on your website or mobile app. Once the small segment of Tag Manager code has been added to your project, you can safely and easily deploy analytics and measurement tag configurations from a web-based user interface.

Google Tag Manager does not replace Google Analytics. Instead, it helps users easily add Google Analytics tracking code (tag) to a website, deploy GA event code snippets, and define rules for when each code must fire.

What Events are Included?
