MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management
MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management collects first-party customer data on a server and routes it to advertising, marketing, and analytics destinations. Its single code library handles page data, behavioral data, identity data, and third-party identifier resolution. Before sending events onward, customers can map, transform, and filter incoming parameters. Sync Injector adds addressable cookie-based IDs and URL decorators to support third-party identity resolution. Listed integrations include Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, Braze, Salesforce, and Snowflake. Organizations can deploy on their own Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure environment, or use a single-tenant MetaRouter-hosted environment on those clouds. Self-hosted customers pay infrastructure resource costs estimated from expected event volume and integrations. The product supports websites, server-side tagging, and consent management. Pricing is on request under a custom enterprise plan scoped to use cases, event volume, and infrastructure footprint, with no per-user or per-profile fees.
