Server-Side Tagging vs Manual Tagging

Developers should use Server-Side Tagging when building high-traffic websites or applications that require robust analytics, marketing tracking, and compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR or CCPA meets developers should learn and use manual tagging when building machine learning models that require high-quality, domain-specific training data, such as in natural language processing (nlp) for sentiment analysis or computer vision for object detection. Here's our take.

Server-Side Tagging

Nice Pick

Developers should use Server-Side Tagging when building high-traffic websites or applications that require robust analytics, marketing tracking, and compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR or CCPA

Pros

  • +It's particularly valuable for reducing client-side bloat, preventing ad-blocker interference, and enabling more secure data handling by minimizing exposure of sensitive information to the browser
  • +Related to: google-tag-manager, web-analytics

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Manual Tagging

Developers should learn and use manual tagging when building machine learning models that require high-quality, domain-specific training data, such as in natural language processing (NLP) for sentiment analysis or computer vision for object detection

Pros

  • +It is essential in scenarios where automated tagging methods are unreliable, such as with ambiguous or complex data, or when establishing ground truth for benchmarking algorithms
  • +Related to: machine-learning, data-preprocessing

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Server-Side Tagging if: You want it's particularly valuable for reducing client-side bloat, preventing ad-blocker interference, and enabling more secure data handling by minimizing exposure of sensitive information to the browser and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Manual Tagging if: You prioritize it is essential in scenarios where automated tagging methods are unreliable, such as with ambiguous or complex data, or when establishing ground truth for benchmarking algorithms over what Server-Side Tagging offers.
