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.
