Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a free tool that allows you to manage and deploy tags to your site without having to modify the code. These tags are snippets of code or tracking pixels which collect information and send it to third parties. Once Google Tag Manager has been added to your Storbie shop you'll be able to safely and easily deploy analytics and measurement tag configurations from Google's web-based user interface.
NOTE: Google Tag Manager features have been restricted to protect your site from third-party scripts that may break site functionality. Please refer to the following allow list to see which features are currently supported.
