S2S Click Tracking

What is S2S Tracking?

S2S (Server-to-Server) tracking is a highly reliable method of tracking conversions without relying on cookies. Instead of using browser-based tracking, S2S tracking facilitates direct communication between the advertiser’s and publisher’s servers, ensuring accuracy and minimizing data loss. This method is particularly useful in cases where cookies may be blocked or cleared by users, preserving crucial tracking data across different devices and platforms.

Benefits of S2S Tracking

S2S tracking offers a significant advantage over cookie-based tracking by providing more accurate and consistent tracking data. Since it doesn’t rely on the user’s browser, it remains unaffected by cookie deletion, making it an ideal choice for mobile app tracking and performance marketing campaigns. Advertisers using S2S tracking can gain deeper insights into user interactions and optimize their ad spend effectively.
