Sincerely, The Commanders Act Team

Our market and solution use many technical concepts, but our goal is also to democratize and explicate these notions to all.

Cookie first

A first-party cookie is a cookie managed by the website owner to track users' activities and remember preferences. It is opposed to third-party cookies which are not owned by the website but partners (advertising partners, for example). Ad blockers and browsers are blocking more and more third-party cookies, that's why first-party cookie is a great workaround to keep a continuity on tracking users.

A-record

It indicates the IP address of a given domain. 'A' for address, it is the most fundamental DNS record type (Domain Name System = website domain). By adding Commanders Act on your A-record, it allows Commanders Act to launch tags as first-party cookies, avoiding ad blockers and limitations regarding third-party cookies.

Cookie client-side

A client-side cookie (HTTP cookie, browser cookie) is a small piece of data that a server sends to a user's web browser. These cookies are stored on the browser.

Cookie server-side

A server-side cookie (session) is a unique Session Identifier stored on the browser and cookie information are stored on the server. The Session Identifier is used to match the request with the data stored on the server.

ITP

Intelligent Tracking Prevention is a feature on browser Safari (Apple) to restrict the use of cookies to track consumers.

Public cloud

With public cloud, companies don't have to purchase, manage and maintain heavy and expensive infrastructures. All of this is managed by third-party providers, and companies only pay for what they consume.

ETL capabilities

An ETL (Extract - Transform - Load) is a system that can extract the data from a source, transform the data (normalization, cleaning...) and load, insert the data to a destination.

Normalized data layer

A normalized data layer refers to ready-to-use data: after collection and normalization, the data quality is ensured, data is clean and ready to be sent to destinations.

Augmented data layer

From collected data, it is possible to enrich the data layer with computed data: create new properties from existing properties to create a sum, count, average, ratio... This allows to create high value properties to send to destinations for a better segmentation or personalization. For example, it is possible to count the total value of purchases per user or the average basket value per user.

Enrichment

When an event is collected, it is possible to enrich it from stored data to add more information on the event before to send it to destinations. For example, a purchase event can be enriched with data coming from CRM, like hashed email address or any other relevant information. It can also be enriched with information coming from the product catalog, from the product ID we can add product details, color, weight, materials...

Identity resolution

The goal of Identity resolution is to create a unified customer profile, whatever devices (desktop, mobile) or channels used (online and offline). To achieve this goal, we built a real-time proprietary reconciliation algorithm to create the complete view of customers.

Release 10.0.25 - October 2024

🍪🔍Enhanced Cookie Scanner: Automatic Filtering & Unmatched Usability

Our Cookie Scanner now delivers an unmatched user experience, combining the most exhaustive cookie capture on the market with powerful enhancements for usability and insight. Already leveraging data from tens of thousands of real users to capture a truly comprehensive view of cookies—something no virtual crawler can match—this update automatically filters out rare and irrelevant cookies, while adding advanced investigation and filtering capabilities for a more streamlined analysis.

• Smart Filtering: By default, cookies detected in fewer than 5% of sessions are now filtered out, allowing clients to focus on frequently relevant cookies while eliminating noise.

• Flexible “Rare Cookies” Toggle: A new toggle enables users to view all cookies, including rare ones, by adjusting an interactive frequency setting for tailored insights.

• Automatic Pattern-Based Grouping: Cookies with similar names are grouped when three or more share a pattern (e.g., cookie_name...), simplifying cookie lists and making analysis easier.

• Enhanced Filters by Type and Domain: New filters for cookie storage type and 3rd-party domain allow for more precise targeting in analyses.

• Frequency Display for Insight: Each cookie now includes an occurence frequency percentage, giving immediate insight into detection rates and relevance.

• Detailed Tracking for 1st Party Cookies: Full URLs of recent detections are displayed for first-party cookies, helping identify exact points of origin.

• Improved Cookie Descriptions: Enhanced descriptions clarify cookie types, offering clients a better understanding of cookie purposes.

• Updated Documentation: Detailed guidance on using these new features is available in our documentation for a seamless user experience.

🔍📊 Introducing the Destination Logs Exporter: Full Transparency for Outgoing Requests

Our new Destination Logs Exporter feature, now in closed beta, complements our Live Event Inspector by providing a more comprehensive monitoring solution. While the Event Inspector samples data during high-traffic periods, the Destination Logs Exporter allows users to export all outgoing requests from selected destinations. Each log includes detailed information, including the originating events, status, errors, etc. setting a new standard in data transparency and control.

• Full Log Export to SFTP: This feature captures every outgoing request, exporting raw logs to an SFTP server for secure access and long-term storage.

• Detailed Event Tracing: Logs provide comprehensive insights into outgoing requests, including the originating events, enabling precise data flow tracking and easier troubleshooting.

• Seamless Integration: Configurable directly within the destination catalog, ensuring quick setup and intuitive management.

• Source Data Quality: Action buttons are now available to help quickly address errors in data sources.

• What’s New: WebContainers and Privacy Banners can now use your customer domain to host files via CNAME, keeping data on our servers without external hosting. This will help bypass ad blockers and increase data collection while staying RGPD-compliant. The feature can be opened on customers account, on request.

Commanders Act is a cookieless platform that allows you to collect, normalize/fix, enrich, check and send in real time your first-party customer data.

Basically, the platform libraries/API () collects user actions () on your website/app/etc. These events are sent to the platform servers and are then (in this order) , , , , filtered and translated in each tool () format, so that they can be sent to your chosen destinations.

Data layer

A data layer is a specification of your data for tracking customer interactions. This can include data from websites, mobile apps, connected devices, and offline sources. The data layer enables your third-party vendor solutions and serves as the basis for your data-focused initiatives.

1. How to send data from my web container ?

2. How to migrate from the serverside v1 (server to server) ?

3. How to migrate my mobile app data collection ?

The Commanders Act platform allows you to manage data sources, destinations, transformations across different environments. These environments—namely Production, Staging, and Development—help you organize and control your data flow more efficiently.

What Are Environments?

Environments are labels can be applied to sources, destinations, and transformations. These labels help you categorize and manage how data flows and is processed within the system. By selecting an environment, you can specify the context in which a particular source, destination, or transformation should operate. The default three primary environments are:

• Production: This is the live environment (on which to be very carreful)

• Staging: Often used for testing and quality assurance.

• Development: Used to build and test things

Workflow Examples

Use Case 1: Team-wide Testing of a New Destination

• Scenario: Your team needs to validate a new destination configuration.

• Steps:

  1. Create a destination in the Development environment and label it "Team_Test_Destination."

  2. Connect only Development sources that are sending known, controlled events.

• Outcome: The team can collectively test and validate the new destination using controlled, lower-volume data.

Use Case 2: Testing Data Transformations on a Smaller Scale

• Scenario: You've developed a new data transformation logic and want to test its impact before applying it to your live data.

• Steps:

  1. Create a source in the Development environment and label it "Transformation_Test."

  2. Direct only a subset of your events, preferably test events, to this source.

  3. Create a transformation in the Development environment and connect it to the "Transformation_Test" source.

• Outcome: You can validate the new data transformation logic using controlled, lower-volume data without affecting the Production environment.

Use Case 3: Verifying a Mobile App Update

• Scenario: You're releasing a new version of your mobile app and want to ensure it works as expected.

• Steps:

  1. Create a source in the Development environment specifically for the new mobile app version.

  2. Initially, connect this source to destinations in the Development environment.

  3. Once verified, connect it to Production destinations.

• Outcome: You can test the new app version in a controlled, lower-volume setting before rolling it out to your user base.

Use Case 4: Role-based Access Control (soon)

• Scenario: You want to control who can make changes in different environments.

• Steps:

  1. Assign roles to team members, specifying permissions for Production, Staging, and Development.

  2. Implement these roles to restrict or grant access to specific sources, destinations, or transformations.

• Outcome: Only authorized team members can make changes in sensitive environments, enhancing security and accountability.

Advantages of Using Environments

Data Isolation

Isolating data between environments minimizes the risk of errors and data corruption. For example, testing a new feature in the Development or Staging environment will not affect your live data in Production.

Enhanced Security

Production data is isolated from Development and Staging, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data leakage.

Improved Testability

New features or data transformations can be thoroughly tested in the Staging or Development environment before being rolled out to Production.

Streamlined Deployment

Moving new features from Development to Staging and finally to Production becomes more straightforward, reducing the chances of errors during deployment.

Team Collaboration

Environments facilitate better collaboration between development, testing, and operations teams by providing dedicated spaces for each phase.

Future Feature: User Permission Management

It allows you to define who can modify or create elements on production, staging, etc. This adds an extra layer of control and security, ensuring that only authorized personnel can make changes to critical environments like Production.

How to Use Environments

1. Creating a Source or Destination: You have the option to label it with an environment tag—either Production, Staging, or Development. This helps you categorize and manage how data flows and is processed within the system.

2. Data Cleansing Transformations: While creating a transformation, you can choose to apply it to a specific environment, giving you more control over your data flow.

1. New concepts

On the new platform (aka Platform X), everything is Source/Event/Destination. Sources (your website, app or server) collect your user actions by sending events. These events are sent to the platform servers and are then enriched, normalized and translated in each tool (Destination) format, so that they can be sent to your chosen destinations. You can learn more in the Concepts section.

2.How to send events (standard / custom)

• From a server, use our HTTP tracking API.

• From a mobile application, you can either use one of our SDK (Android, IOS, ...) or use our HTTP tracking API if you don't want to use a SDK.

3. Format events

• Events are the new format of your data. As explain in the event documentation, common events have to be sent in the standard format (name and properties) to benefit from plug&play features.

• Standard event format can be found in our event reference documentation

• Go through this example, based on the ssv1 format : purchase event example

Serverside v1 to Serverside v2

Severside v1 (aka SSv1) is the serverside tag management feature of the old platform (v7). It is now deprecated. In this section, we'll see how to migrate from a SSv1 setup to the new platform (aka SSv2)

Tree steps to migrate

1. Send data to serverside v2 (aka Platform X)

2. Check your data quality

3. Add your first destination

Here are an example of a serverside v1 hit : Booking Confirmation :

{
    "method": "GET",
    "event_page_name_detailed": "page.Checkout.Confirmation",
    "booking_order_number": 9179124954957,
    "product_list_pricing_price_base_amount": 295.82,
    "product_list_pricing_currency_displayed": "USD",
    "event_page_funnel_location": 70,

    "timestamp": "11/01/2022 14:32",
 
}

It should be sent to the serverside v2 in this format (adding maximum of recommanded properties) :

This guide shows you how to quickly set up server-side event forwarding for GA4 in Google Tag Manager (GTM) using Commanders Act. With this setup, your GA4 events can be routed to multiple destinations like Facebook CAPI, Google Enhanced Conversions, and others.

1. Create a GTM Source in Commanders Act.

2. Update the GA4 URL in GTM.

3. Set Up Domain Delegation for first-party data collection (strongly recommended).

Step 1: Create a GTM Source in Commanders Act

1. Log in to Commanders Act.

2. Go to the Sources section and create a new Google Tag Manager source.

3. Copy the Source Token displayed.

Step 2: Update GA4 in Google Tag Manager

1. Open your GTM workspace.

2. Find your GA4 Configuration Tag.

3. In the Tag Configuration window, under Fields to Set, add a new field with the following values:

   • Field Name: server_container_url

   • Value:

     Copy

     https://collect.commander1.com/events?tc_s={siteId}&token={sourceKey}&&ga_url_param=

   Replace:

   • {siteId}: Your Commanders Act site ID.

   • {sourceKey}: The Source Token from Commanders Act.

Note: This URL uses Commanders Act’s default domain (commander1.com) to get you up and running quickly. For better data quality, it’s strongly recommended to use your own custom domain (see Step 3).

1. Save and Publish your changes in GTM.

Step 3: Set Up Domain Delegation for First-Party Data Collection

For enhanced data accuracy and first-party tracking, we recommend setting up a custom domain through domain delegation. This ensures the data is collected and processed as first-party, improving tracking reliability and compliance with privacy regulations.

How to Set Up Domain Delegation:

1. Go to the Domain Management section of Commanders Act (find detailed instructions here) and follow the steps to configure a custom subdomain such as https://collect.yourdomain.com

2. In GTM, update server_container_urlwith your subdomain url such as:

   Copy

   https://collect.yourdomain.com/events?tc_s={siteId}&token={sourceKey}&&ga_url_param=

   Replace collect.yourdomain.com with your own subdomain.
