Hi @Ataur117830 ,

Yes, you can use both Google and YouTube apps for browser-side tracking alongside Stape.io for server-side tracking. Using both methods simultaneously can provide a more comprehensive tracking solution, as server-side tracking can help mitigate issues like ad blockers and improve data accuracy.

  1. Understanding the Tracking Methods:
    Browser-Side Tracking: This method relies on JavaScript running in the user’s browser to collect data. Google Analytics and YouTube tracking typically fall into this category. It captures user interactions directly from the client side.
    Server-Side Tracking: This method involves sending data from your server to analytics platforms. Stape.io acts as a server-side container that can collect and send data without relying on the user’s browser.
  2. Using Both Together:
    No Conflicts: Generally, using both tracking methods should not cause conflicts. However, you need to ensure that the data sent from both methods is consistent and does not lead to duplicate tracking.

Please let me know if you need more detailed explanation.

Thanks !
