Browser pixels were built for a web that no longer exists. Between ad blockers, Safari's tracking prevention and consent banners, a typical site now loses 20–35% of its conversion events before they ever reach an ad platform.

Why server-side changes the math

With server-side tracking, events are sent from your own infrastructure to your analytics and ad platforms. First-party cookies last longer, payloads can be enriched with CRM data, and you decide exactly what is shared.

What to send first

Start with the events that carry revenue: signups, trials, purchases and subscription upgrades. Add value and currency to every one, and deduplicate against the browser pixel using a shared event ID.

Measure the lift

Run both setups side by side for two weeks and compare matched conversions. Most Skyroot customers see ad platforms receive 25% more conversions, which feeds better bidding and lowers CAC within a month.
