server-side vs client-side tracking for attribution
ngl the move toward server-side implementation is becoming unavoidable as privacy regulations tighten around browser cookies. client-side tracking still works for basic page views, but you lose visibility once adblockers or ioss intelligent tracking prevention kick in. using a server-side setup allows you to control the data stream b4 it ever reaches the user's device. this makes your marketing attribution much more reliable bc you are no longer at the mercy of browser-level restrictions.the trade-off is that server-side setups require more engineering resources and higher cloud infrastructure costs. client-side is def easier to deploy for small teams with zero budget, but it is becoming
