The tracking tag

What it is

The tracking tag is one line of code. Settings › Tracking & safety › Tracking shows it at the top with a copy button. Put it inside head on every page of your site, landing pages included.

What it does

1. A visitor arrives through a partner's link (the address has linkId and sourceId).
2. The tag reports the visit to HitCTRL, which checks the link and records a hit.
3. The tag keeps the signed hit (a code starting with h1.) in the visitor's hitctrl cookie.
4. When the visitor buys, your server sends that hit with the conversion, and the right partner gets it.

Good to know

• The tag names your workspace with its public key (data-workspace="pk_…"), so it works on any domain. The public key is not a secret; the API key your server uses is.
• Visits appear in Performance › Hits within seconds.
• Can't add a script, or want to count visits from your server? Use server-side hits.
• On a whitelabel's site the same tag works; the site's domain tells HitCTRL which whitelabel it is.
