Cloudflare Zaraz vs Commanders Act Tag Management

Cloudflare Zaraz lets website owners manage third-party tools and run them through Cloudflare’s edge, with the stated aim of improving site speed and security. Its supported categories include analytics, advertising, marketing automation, recruiting, embeds, and customer data platforms. For other tools, custom integrations include Custom HTML, Custom Image, and HTTP Request. A client-side Web API can send events and data used to create triggers and launch tools. Zaraz also provides a configurable consent modal that can load tools according to purposes users have agreed to; users remain responsible for assigning tools to purposes when needed for GDPR compliance. The free plan includes 1,000,000 Zaraz Events per Cloudflare account each month. Additional usage costs $5 a month for each additional 1,000,000 events, and all features and tools are available on all accounts. Without paid usage billing, Zaraz is disabled until the next billing cycle if monthly events exceed 1,000,000. It can serve its script on a domain not proxied through Cloudflare if a separate proxied domain or subdomain is set up for the script. Zaraz is available through web and API platforms.

Commanders Act Tag Management is part of a cookieless marketing data platform for compliant data collection, tag management, and first-party user-data activation. Its browser-side web container combines tags, rules, triggers, and an enriched web data layer. OneTag sends normalized events to Commanders Act for server-side processing and onward delivery to destinations. Because it is pre-templated, setup generally involves mapping variables and entering partner connector IDs. The platform also supports a JavaScript SDK, Google Tag Manager templates, mobile SDKs for iOS and Android, third-party connectors, and CSV imports. OneTag carries consent information, and partner connectors compare consent category IDs before sending data. Its HTTP tracking API uses HTTPS encryption and source-specific token authentication. Individual requests are limited to 32KB and batch requests to 500KB; customers are asked to contact Commanders Act before exceeding 500 requests per second. The company says personal data collected on its sites is stored within the European Union and transmitted using SSL. Pricing is on request.
