MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management
What it is
MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management collects first-party customer data on the server and routes it to advertising, marketing, and analytics destinations. This approach is intended to reduce or eliminate client-side tags for common vendors. A single code library handles page, behavioral, and identity data, including third-party identifier resolution. Customers can map, transform, and filter incoming parameters before sending them onward. Sync Injector adds addressable cookie-based IDs and URL decorators to event streams for third-party identity resolution. Listed destinations include Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, Braze, Salesforce, and Snowflake. Organizations can deploy MetaRouter in their own cloud or use a single-tenant hosted environment on Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure. Self-hosted customers are responsible for infrastructure resource costs based on expected event volume and integrations. The product supports websites, server-side tagging, and consent management. Its custom enterprise plan is scoped to use cases, event volume, and infrastructure footprint, with no per-user or per-profile fees. Pricing is available on request.
