GTM is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The tags set up via the Google Tag Manager ensure the collection of data that is passed on to the target system. Because the data is only passed on, the system does not collect or store the data itself. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may themselves collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will persist for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. The Google Tag Manager is a cookie-free domain and therefore does not collect any Personal Information in this way. Tracking can nevertheless take place when using the service. The use of individual tags is recorded in the same way as the implementation method. Basically, the use of the Google Tag Manager is recorded and evaluated.
