- Consent state: a typed field on each event, not a switch on the pageThe pageview before the banner answer and the purchase after it are both correct, and they carry different consent values. That only works if consent travels per event.definition6 min
- Event ID: the value that lets two systems agree a conversion happened onceThe same identifier, the same conversion, both transports, inside the platform's window. Four generation strategies, and the guarantee each one keeps or breaks.definition6 min
- The exported event row: nested parameters and no session columnOne row per event, a repeated parameter struct with four typed slots, and a pseudonymous identifier that can be missing. Every figure a report shows is derived from this.definition6 min
- The tagging server: a first-party endpoint that owns the payloadA tagging server is not a proxy. It parses one first-party event, adds and strips fields, and emits a vendor-shaped request per destination from your infrastructure.definition6 min
