Initialization

For optimal performance, it is recommended that you insert the code directly into your site, rather than using tag managers like Google Tag Manager. Otherwise, you may experience data losses or discrepancies. It's also recommended to put it in the header of the site

To begin using EdgeTag, you need to load our script and initialize it. The script will be loaded from our /load endpoint. This script is dynamically generated based on your channel configurations, ensuring that only the necessary components are included to maintain your website's optimal performance. We will automatically include all browser pixels that you configured.

Ensure you replace the example URL https://d.mysite.com with the one generated for you in the app.

<script>
  window.edgetag=window.edgetag||function(){(edgetag.stubs=edgetag.stubs||[]).push(arguments)};

  edgetag('init', {
    edgeURL: 'https://d.mysite.com',
    disableConsentCheck: true
  })
</script>
<script async type="text/javascript" src="https://d.mysite.com/load"></script>

The second part of the snippet is the initialization, specifically the call to the init function. Available parameters for the init function are:

Name	Type	Required	Description
edgeURL	String	Yes	EdgeTag URL that you received as part of onboarding.
disableConsentCheck	Boolean	No	If you don't have consent on your site, you can disable it with this flag.
userId	String	No	If you would like to set custom id for your first party cookie, you can pass unique identifier.

Now that we have a snippet on the site and have initialized it, let's discuss multiple instances, as you can have multiple EdgeTag instances on the same site.
