External services

This plugin relies on the following third-party service:

Google Tag Manager (GTM)
Purpose: Loads your GTM container so you can manage analytics/marketing tags from GTM.
When it runs: Only when a valid GTM Container ID (e.g., GTM-XXXXXXX) is saved in the plugin settings and output is enabled. If no ID is set or output is disabled, nothing is loaded.
What is sent and where: The plugin outputs the standard GTM bootstrap script and a <noscript> iframe. The visitor’s browser then requests:
https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js
https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html
These requests send standard browser metadata (IP, user agent, referrer, page URL) to Google to serve the files.
Scope: Front-end pages only. The plugin does not transmit admin data.
Policies:
Google Tag Manager Terms of Service
Google Privacy Policy
Data stored by this plugin: None. The plugin does not log, transmit, or store visitor data in WordPress.

FAQ

Will this track logged-in users?

No, not if you exclude their role from the settings panel.

Where is the GTM code inserted?

  • The <script> is injected in the <head> using wp_head.
  • The <noscript> fallback is injected after <body> using wp_body_open.

What if my theme doesn’t use `wp_body_open`?

You’ll see an admin notice prompting you to update your theme.
If your theme doesn’t support wp_body_open, you can manually add it by inserting <?php wp_body_open(); ?> immediately after the opening <body> tag in your theme’s header.php file.

Do I need to edit my theme?

Usually no — most modern themes include wp_head and wp_body_open. But if your theme is older or custom, you might need to add wp_body_open() manually after <body>.
