Why Marketers Are Losing Visibility – And How to Take It Back

In today’s digital world, marketers are up against growing challenges:

  • Browsers block cookies.
  • Privacy laws tighten.
  • Retargeting lists shrink.
  • Conversion tracking becomes unreliable.

Even if your Google Ads campaigns are spot-on, they might underperform — not because of bad creative or budget issues, but because data isn’t getting through.

That’s where Google Tag Gateway comes in.

What Is Google Tag Gateway?

Google Tag Gateway is a server-side tagging solution that gives marketers back control over their data.

Instead of relying on browser-based tracking (which gets blocked or deleted), Google Tag Gateway fires tags through a secure server — boosting speed, preserving data quality, and unlocking stronger integrations with tools like CRMs, Google Ads, and analytics platforms.

At Infiniti Multimedia Group, we implement this using Server-side Google Tag Manager (sGTM) hosted on platforms like Cloudflare or AWS, ensuring you don’t lose critical insight when tracking user behavior.

Why It Matters Now

Here’s what’s killing your tracking:

🚫 Problem😮 Impact on Marketing
Browser restrictions (Safari, Chrome)Cookies expire quickly, data is lost
Consent Mode (v2) requirementsTags don’t fire if consent isn’t given
Ad blockersPrevent scripts from executing
Shortened cookie lifespanWrecks attribution & retargeting efforts

Result? You’re flying blind — and your campaigns suffer.
