How do I deploy my first-party tracking in A-Record ?
Step 1
CHOICE OF SUB-DOMAIN :
This first step involves defining the name of the sub-domain that will be delegated.
The process is quite simple: on the Administration / Domain management interface, click on 'Add a sub-domain' to add a domain name to be delegated.
DON'T KNOW WHICH SUB-DOMAIN NAME TO CHOOSE?
We recommend that you choose a neutral sub-domain name.
The idea here is to avoid using an explicit sub-domain name such as tracking.%domain%.com, which could be detected by adblockers.
Step 2
SELECT RECORD A AND CHOOSE HOW TO SUPPLY THE CERTIFICATE :
Use the Let's Encrypt certificate:
With this method, the certificate will be automatically generated.
Follow the steps in the interface, no action is required on your part.

This method requires the following elements to be supplied:

The certificate key
The certificate chain

The purpose of this step is to deploy your sub-domain to all your containers.
Click on "Containers Integration", which will allow the domain to be included in the container configuration.
All TAGs hosted in your containers will switch to first-party collection.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE 2 OR MORE DOMAINS?
Priority is given to the domain of the website on which the container is loaded.
If no domain matches the website domain, the first in the list is used.
