# GA4 and tag management.

GA4 is Google's event-based analytics platform, usually deployed through a tag manager that controls which scripts load and what data they send without requiring a code release for each change.

## Where GA4 and tag management fits on a long engagement.

GA4's event model is a genuine change from what preceded it, and migrations that mapped old concepts onto it mechanically produce data nobody trusts. Events and parameters need designing around the questions the business actually asks, which is analysis work rather than configuration.

Consent is a legal requirement rather than a setting. Under GDPR, analytics cookies require consent before they are set, and a tag firing before consent is a compliance breach regardless of how the data is later used.

## What an assigned team does with GA4 and tag management.

Tag managers concentrate risk because they let non-developers inject scripts into production. Without governance, marketing tags accumulate, page weight grows, and third-party scripts nobody reviewed run on every page.

Publishing controls and a periodic audit are what keep that in hand, and it is part of the standards held within an agreed [committed monthly capacity](https://azendo.co/pricing/).

## What we use GA4 and tag management for.

* Events designed around real questions A model built from what the business asks rather than migrated mechanically.
* Consent enforced before tags fire Compliance handled in the tag logic rather than assumed downstream.
* Tag estate governed Publishing controls and audits, since anyone can otherwise inject production scripts.

## How GA4 and tag management capacity is assigned.

Analytics implementation is assigned across development and data capacity, with consent treated as a compliance requirement rather than a configuration option.
