# How it works?
### Overview
EdgeTag is a purpose-built first-party data infrastructure that optimizes every signal, powers every decision, and adapts automatically to the evolving privacy-first landscape. The platform delivers:
**Complete Zero-Code Data Infrastructure**
Automatic data capture, scalable ID graph, and real-time streaming to 50+ marketing and analytics channels, with built-in consent management, observability, and bot protection.
**Single Tenant Architecture for Enterprise Security**
Dedicated infrastructure where no resources are shared between customers, ensuring complete data isolation, predictable performance, and built-in GDPR/CCPA compliance with full audit trails.
**Service as Software with Done-For-You Implementation**
Zero-code deployment, managed infrastructure, and expert configuration—eliminating the need to hire teams for server-side implementation so you can focus on growth, not data maintenance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.edgetag.io/overview/how-it-works.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
