Server-side tagging in South Africa
iOS 14, ATT, and cookieless make this non-optional. South Africa operators face the same server-side tagging discipline as global peers, with local context (timezone, channel mix, buying patterns) shifting which moves carry the most leverage.

Definition
What is server-side tagging?
Server-side tagging routes tracking events from a website or app through a first-party server endpoint (Google Tag Manager Server-Side, Segment Functions, or a self-hosted equivalent) instead of firing third-party browser pixels directly.
