Tag management system


A tag management system is designed to help manage the lifecycle of e-marketing tags, which are used to integrate third-party software into digital properties.

Functionality

tags are used to add functionality to web sites, video content, and mobile apps. Such functionality can include web analytics, campaign analytics, audience measurement, personalization, A/B testing, ad servers, behavioral retargeting, and conversion tracking.
Tag management systems replace these multiple tags with a single container tag and subsequently prioritize and "fire" individual tags as appropriate based on business rules, navigation events and known data. Typical functionality includes testing environment, audit trail and version control, ability to A/B test different solutions, tag deduplication, and role-based access to data.
