Tracify vs. first-party in-platform tracking
First-party in-platform tracking quickly reaches its limits in practice. Consent obligations, technical protection mechanisms and platform restrictions mean that even modern first-party setups do not cover large parts of the real customer journey.
Tracking pixels don't fire in the absence of consent or are blocked by ITP, iOS 14.5, and ad blockers
Server-to-server tracking fails when client-side capture is prevented
Channels work in isolation, customer journeys remain fragmented
Missing data is modeled within the platform — opaque and interest-based
Attribution is based on platform models instead of real user paths
Tracify, on the other hand, uses a hybrid, specially developed tracking toolkit and AI-based user matchingto record users in compliance with GDPR, even in the event of blockages. This creates consistent, cross-channel customer journeys as a reliable basis for attribution and budget decisions.
