Why you need Pixel Tag Manager
Tracking codes get pasted into theme headers, page builders and plugins by different people, so sites end up with duplicates, missing tags or code nobody can remove.
What Pixel Tag Manager does
Google Analytics
Add your measurement ID.
Meta Pixel
Add your Facebook Pixel ID.
Pinterest Tag
Add your Pinterest Tag ID.
Waits for cookie consent
Google Analytics starts with Consent Mode v2 set to denied, and the Meta and Pinterest pixels are held until the visitor accepts cookies in Complianz, CookieYes or Cookie Notice.
Checked IDs
Each ID is checked when you save, so a typo is caught before it reaches the site.
What you can configure
1 settings, all in the free plugin.
- Wait for cookie consent Sends Google Analytics with Consent Mode v2 set to denied, and holds the Facebook and Pinterest pixels, until the visitor accepts cookies in Complianz, CookieYes or Cookie Notice.
Where Pixel Tag Manager helps
Marketing setup
One place to check which tracking is live on the site.
UK and EU sites
Keep analytics and ad pixels off until a visitor agrees, as UK GDPR, PECR and the EU rules expect.
Pixel Tag Manager vs PixelYourSite
PixelYourSite has 400k+ active installs on WordPress.org. If you only need this one job, that’s a fine choice. If the site also needs other modules on this list, it’s one less plugin to update.
- The difference
- Pixel Tag Manager does the same core job inside WP Extended, so it shares one settings screen, one update and one support team with every other module you use.
