Install Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a free service you can use to add your own analytics tags – for example, to monitor data for marketing campaigns – to your website without the need for IT Services' involvement when you wish to add or edit tags.
Important: To ensure your site complies with GDPR, you must check that performancePermission is true in the data layer before applying analytics tags via Google Tag Manager. Similarly, targeted advertising tags can only be used if advertisingPermission is true.
This article describes how to add the Google Tag Manager container ID to your site properties in SiteBuilder. To do this, you need admin or edit permissions for your site's home page.

Install Google Tag Manager

If you're using Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager, you should remove the tracking ID from the Google Analytics code box. Otherwise, data will be recorded twice.
-
Select Save changes. The container ID is now applied to every page on your website.
Sub-sites
The Google Tag Manager container ID you specify in site properties does not cascade to sub-sites. To use Google Tag Manager with your sub-sites, you have two options:
- Add the container ID to each sub-site – you'll then administer all tags via one site in Google Tag Manager.
- Create new container IDs for each sub-site – you'll administer tags in separate sites in Google Tag Manager.
