Cross-Domain Tracking for Multiple Domains Without Direct Links Using

1

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a solution to track users as a single user when they visit Site A and Site B, even if they don’t navigate between the sites by clicking a direct link (e.g., they browse independently or type the URL). I’m considering Stape for this, but I have some questions and need confirmation on a few points. Here’s the scenario and my queries:

Scenario

1.We have multiple domains (e.g., Site A and Site B).

2.Users may visit both sites independently, without clicking a link from one to the other.

3.We want to treat these visits as a single user with a consistent user ID across both domains for accurate tracking.

4.Some users may block third-party cookies, so we need a solution that works in this case.

Questions

  1. Can Stape help with cross-domain tracking without direct links?
  2. Are cookies dropped by Stape third-party cookies?
  3. Without direct links, how can we ensure a consistent user ID across Site A and Site B?
  4. If we use mult-domain feature for both domain it will still be third party? - How Can we get the same user id across the domains?

Usually, when you click, the identifier is transferred and the cookies saved for this identifier are set from a third-party database.

What you are describing is only possible using some kind of fingerprint to identify the user. There are various types of fingerprints, and the high-quality ones are usually paid.

In other words, using fingerprinting, you create an identifier for the user based on some standard parameters (e.g. IP, user agent, etc.) and can then use this to save and set the necessary cookies for them.

Regarding your questions:

Can Stape help with cross-domain tracking without direct links?

Stape does not provide any solution for this now

Are cookies dropped by Stape third-party cookies?

Stape itself does not set any cookies. Cookies set your sGTM container depending on what you have configured in it. These are always first-party cookies.

Without direct links, how can we ensure a consistent user ID across Site A and Site B?
If we use mult-domain feature for both domain it will still be third party? - How Can we get the same user id across the domains?

Described above, only browser fingerprinting can help you with this
