Navigating the Challenges of Private Browsing: How Clickstone.io Ensures Accurate Customer Journey Data

The Privacy Challenge

Private browsing modes, such as Safari’s Private Browsing, offer users enhanced privacy by preventing the browser from saving history, cookies, and other site data. While beneficial for users, these features create blind spots for marketers and business managers who rely on tools like Google Tag Manager (GTM) to track user behavior and gather insights.

When GTM is blocked in private mode, users running Safari or similar browsers are excluded from your site usage statistics and customer metrics, leading to an incomplete picture of your website’s performance and customer journey.

The Impact on Customer Journey Management

For marketers and product managers, understanding the complete customer journey is essential. Every interaction, from the first visit to the final purchase, provides valuable data for optimizing user experience and driving conversions. However, private browsing creates data gaps that make it difficult to draw accurate conclusions and make informed decisions.
