   Thanks for sharing this! From the IAB, I'm not surprised unfortunately Normalize emails is "best practice" for all the dirty "unique identifiers" players, see ID5 for example https://support.id5.io/

   Cloudflare Zaraz seems to be an easier option unfortunately https://twitter.com/pixeldetracking/status/14957193559879434...

   the big difference is that I cannot audit the websites using this new version of GTM (and I don't trust marketers)

   I agree, thought it has to be done properly (and most marketers are not used to that currently)

    the "new" thing is that it's been pushed by Google, hence made a lot easier

    There is nothing new for the few experts out there (yes Segment has been doing it, yes others also, yes you can do it yourself). But Google proposes it, well, the adoption is not the same... I agree with you on the legal doctrine

    ublock origin has actually an experimental option for this: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#... only issue with blocking the proxies is that you can now decide to host the containe

    yes, they would need to get another identifier, and that's what is done with players like Facebook. Sorry another of my articles in french: https://pixeldetracking.com/fr/les-signaux-resilients-de-fac... , but Face

    your are optimistic, most analytics guys I know are working with clients to transition to GTM server-side tagging

    Apple's Private Relay is great, but it won't help with server-side tracking (which is not based on IPs)
