It's a standardized encryption method that uses a 256-bit key to decrypt the data

What is the data minimization principle?

Only the minimum amount of data should be collected to satisfy the purpose for which it was collected

Category: Tagging And Data Layers

Why are marketing tags also called pixels?

Because historically marketing data was collected with pixel-sized image files designed solely to send data to vendor servers over the network

Because marketing tags are visible on the page as pixel-sized dots – this is a regulatory obligation to make it transparent the page is collecting data

Because individually, marketing tags are as unimportant as individual pixels of an image, but together they form the tapestry of marketing

Why is it dangerous to add content to or otherwise modify the page with a tag management system (TMS)?

TMS always loads long after the page has completed rendering, which results in the dynamically added or modified content suddenly appearing out of nowhere

It's not – TMS have built-in protections to prevent the custom content from interfering with other content on the page

It will often result in an uneven experience, and users who block the TMS with an ad blocker will not be able to see the change

Category: Tagging And Data Layers

What is DOM scraping?

When the tag management system adds its own event listeners to the page, it "scrapes" them from the DOM before other scripts have time to react

When the JavaScript representation of the page (DOM) is modified using a tag management system

When information that would be better stored in a Data Layer is instead parsed ("scraped") directly from the page using JavaScript
