Restore your data accuracy and reduce the impact of browser restrictions
Standard client-side tracking is becoming increasingly fragile. Privacy features like Safari’s ITP (Intelligent Tracking Prevention) and various browser extensions are causing your data to be lost before it reaches your reports. When you rely solely on the browser, you lose control over your cookie lifespans and data quality.
Server-side tagging is the professional solution to these challenges. By combining your browser-side components with a server you control, you can:
- Extend cookie lifespans beyond the 7-day or 24-hour caps imposed by browsers.
- Improve website performance by reducing the number of heavy third-party scripts running on the browser.
- Gain control over the data you send by sending proxying requests through your own custom domain.
- Turn your tracking into a strategic advantage by merging web events with your CRM or internal databases. This allows you to enrich your data with high-quality first-party data (like profit margins or lead status) before it reaches your marketing platforms.
For those who want to move from "basic setup" to true server-side mastery
Server-side tagging is the new standard. Maybe you have even configured a basic container. But as you get deeper, the challenges get tougher. Dealing with complex ecommerce schemas, transforming data to meet custom measurement requirements, and building resilient workflows requires a higher level of expertise.
This bundle is designed for technical marketers and analysts who are ready to stop guessing and start building robust, scalable architectures.
This Server-side Tagging Course Bundle is for you if:
- You want to reduce the impact of browser restrictions and tracking prevention measures.
- You need to implement advanced Server-Side tracking for platforms like Facebook, Google Ads, or GA4.
- You want to learn how to manipulate data within the server container to meet custom vendor requirements.
- You are ready to leverage first-party data and build sophisticated data enrichment workflows to independently solve complex web-tracking challenges.

This Bundle includes
Two Premium Courses
You will get instant access to the learning materials of two courses:
- Intermediate/Advanced GTM course
- First-party Data Masterclass
I have spent thousands of hours working with GTM and Google Analytics. I have polished workflows, processes, etc., and now you can get my knowledge through these courses.
When I am hired on a project, I charge $300/hour. Having that in mind, the value of my courses is a no-brainer.
Bite-sized video lessons + bonus modules
Shorter videos (rather than having several 1-hour long) enable you to learn things more gradually and stay more motivated as you keep seeing your growing progress.
Quick quizzes
At the end of every module, there is a quick quiz to check what you have learned. It’s a great way to ensure that you have gained the most out of lessons.
Lifetime access to the course + Free updates
This purchase includes lifetime access to the training materials. If you want to revisit a particular topic of the course, you can come back here anytime.
Support from the instructor
Got stuck? Have some questions? Feel free to ask in the private community for students. Also, you are free to post questions/comments under each video lesson.
30-day money back guarantee
If you complete my courses and don’t feel like you’ve reached the next level of Google Tag Manager, email me for a refund. No questions asked.
Is this course bundle right for you?
Both courses in the bundle are designed for technical marketers and analysts who want to get more control over their website tracking and get value out of their analytics. After completing both courses, you will know not only the essentials of server-side Google Tag Manager, but you will also significantly increase your data accuracy and ad attribution with the help of Data Enrichment.
This bundle is right for you:
- if you have been using Google Tag Manager for a while and you consider yourself as an intermediate GTM user
- if you want to have more flexibility/power while managing tracking codes
- if you want to properly implement GA4 Ecommerce Tracking
- if you don’t want to spend months trying to figure out things on your own
- if you like to learn things by actually doing practical tasks
- if you want to be prepared for the future of web analytics
- if you want to benefit from server-side tagging
- if you want to increase the ROI of your paid ad campaigns with more accurate and richer conversion data
This bundle is not for you if:
- You want to learn how to track AMPs (accelerated mobile pages). Or if you want very in-depth content about mobile app tracking.
- You think that GTM can/should 100% replace developers in your projects. You will learn how to reduce dependency on developers but you CANNOT avoid them 100%.
- You are afraid of “getting your hands dirty” with a bit more technical topics (like HTML, CSS, etc.)
- You want to learn how to use Google BigQuery
- You expect to learn JavaScript here. For JS, I offer another course.
This course bundle is on-demand. You can learn at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions
They start right now! After enrollment, you will get immediate access to the entire content. Learn at your own pace.
Intermediate/Advanced GTM course contains 14 hours of video material, First-party Data Masterclass is around 8 hours. Speaking of the completion time, it very much depends on how much do you plan to spend on it every week. Some students have completed a single course over two weeks, some spent a couple of months (or more) due to their busy work schedules. In my opinion, the most optimal schedule should be 3-4 weeks per course. But it is possible to do that even faster.
In many cases, employers pay for the course. Here are some thoughts:
- Your team will become agile as they will be able to launch new tracking campaigns faster
- You will be able to solve much more complex situations
- Implement server-side tagging to increase your data accuracy
- Feeding verified CRM and backend signals directly into ad platforms is a proven way to lower acquisition costs (in other words, better return on ad spend)
- Instead of months of trial and error (and potentially wasted ad spend), these courses provide a clear, step-by-step roadmap to implementing advanced first-party data strategies immediately.
Sounds like a good deal, right?
If none of the reasons above resonate with your company, let me know at [email protected]. I’m sure we can easily come up with something more personalized.
Yes, you will receive course certificates (each course has a separate certificate)
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to both courses for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.
To understand the intermediate/advanced GTM course, you need to already be an intermediate GTM user (being an intermediate GA4 user also helps). Once you complete that course, you’ll be ready to take the First-party Data Masterclass (think of it as a direct sequel to the intermediate/advanced course)
Speaking of requirements for the intermediate/advanced GTM course, you should have a Google Chrome browser installed (because there are several plugins you’ll need to use during the course) and an internet connection, of course.
For First-party Data Masterclass, you will need:
- A website (even if it has zero traffic and default settings. For example, a plain WordPress website is fine)
- Custom domain that is used by the website
- Server-side GTM container mapped to a custom domain/subdomain (ideally, on Stape.io. The intermediate/advanced GTM course teaches how to use Stape). I will provide a coupon code that gives you Stape’s Pro plan for 30 days free. You can use that to host your SGTM container.
Then it means I didn’t do a good job teaching you! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact me within the first 30 days (after the purchase) and I will give you a full refund. No questions asked.
Yes, all videos have English subtitles
For intermediate/advanced GTM course – No. It provides access to sandbox websites where you will learn how to track particular interactions. If you have your own website, that’s also good. You can practice there.
However, server-side tagging lessons there (+ the entire First-party Data Masterclass) will require you to have a website and control of the domain (web address). Because of how it works, it’s impossible to give a sandbox website in those modules.
It’s highly recommended. Even though there are plenty of lessons that can be applied to any SGTM setup, some modules heavily rely on Stape’s functionality (e.g., Stape Data Store, previously “Stape Store”).
Even though the Data Store is a paid feature, I will provide a coupon code that gives you Stape’s Pro plan for 30 days for free. That should be enough for learning.
Yes, you can upgrade and just pay the difference (between this and a larger bundle). This is possible within the first 30 days after you enroll in this bundle. If you decide to upgrade, contact [email protected] and we’ll send you a custom link to the checkout to upgrade.
No, the price you see on this page is without the taxes, therefore, the final price might increase on the checkout page. But that depends on your geographical location.
Yes, you can. We accept payments with PayPal, Credit Cards, Apple pay, etc. You will see all options once you enter the checkout.
If you choose a monthly payment plan, you’ll need to complete a certain number of payments (it depends on the course/bundle). Once you make the first payment, you get instant access to all the content of the course/bundle.
When the next month comes, the course platform will automatically make another payment. Some banks might require you to approve the payment. In that case, you’ll receive an email about that with further instructions.
After all monthly payments are complete, you’ll keep lifetime access to course/bundle that you purchased.
Feel free to send me an email to [email protected].
