How 1st Party Tracking Works

Updated this week

Why Install a First-Party Tracker Instead of a Third-Party Tracker?

By using our first-party tracker, you'll be better protected against ad blockers. Adblockers often block scripts from third-party companies. However, when you upgrade to a first-party tracker, ad blockers will recognize that the JavaScript is loaded from your own domain and, as a general rule, it will not be blocked.\ ​

Log in to app.sealmetrics.com and go to Settings > First Party Tracker as below:

How to Install SealMetrics' First-Party Tracker

Before installing SealMetrics' first-party tracker, there are a few steps you'll need to complete:

  1. The setup screen will display the subdomain you need to create. If you plan to track more than one domain, you'll need to create the same subdomain for each domain.​

  2. Add an A record in your DNS Manager with the following value: 45.148.1.221.

  3. Notify us at [email protected] once you have completed the two tasks above.

  4. When you receive the green light from [email protected], copy and paste the Tracker Code snippet into the <head> tag of your website.

And then the magic starts!\ ​If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
