MetaRouter Server-Side Tag Management collects first-party customer data on the server and routes it to advertising, marketing, and analytics vendors. For common destinations, this can reduce or eliminate client-side tags. A single code library supports page, behavioral, and identity data, including third-party identifier resolution. Before routing, customers can map, transform, and filter incoming parameters. Sync Injector adds addressable cookie-based IDs and URL decorators to event streams for third-party identity resolution. Listed destinations include Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, Braze, Salesforce, and Snowflake. Organizations can deploy the service in their own cloud or use a single-tenant MetaRouter-hosted environment on Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure. Self-hosted customers are responsible for infrastructure resource costs, which MetaRouter estimates from expected event volume and integrations. Its custom enterprise plan is scoped to use cases, event volume, and infrastructure footprint, with no per-user or per-profile fees; pricing is on request. The product supports websites, server-side tagging, and consent management. MetaRouter says an independent auditor examined its controls against SOC 2 Type II Trust Services Principles for Security and that it conducts regular third-party security audits.
