Description

Tags are contextual metadata about pages and events. They identify what a user is looking at, clicking on, or interacting with. For example, you can use tags to describe a product being purchased, an article being read, or a flight being booked. Learn more about tags.

There are three ways to capture this context:

• Directly on an event, using the tags property.
• Directly on a page, using the tags property. These tags will be sent along with any event that happens on that page.
• Finally, you can use this tags method directly to add context without activating a page and tracking a pageview. This is equivalent to the previous option but can be used when pages are already being activated using URL targeting.
