<h2>How to Implement CJ Affiliate Tracking with Server-Side Tagging in WordPress</h2><p>Client-side tracking for affiliate marketing in WordPress has become increasingly unreliable. Tools like CJ Affiliate often struggle to track conversions accurately due to browser-level restrictions like ITP (Intelligent Tracking Prevention), widespread adblockers, and shortened cookie lifespans. These limitations can lead to underreported performance, misattributed conversions, and ultimately—budget inefficiency. </p><p>Server-side tracking offers a robust alternative by moving key tracking logic from the browser to the server, resulting in better data integrity and privacy control. This approach helps businesses recover otherwise lost conversion signals in platforms like CJ Affiliate.</p><p>With server-side tracking, data is processed on your own server or cloud instance, making it less susceptible to browser limitations. For WordPress users integrating CJ Affiliate, coupling server-side GTM (Google Tag Manager) with tools like Stape, Google's Enhanced Conversions, and Meta’s Conversions API lets you capture 20–30% more conversions compared to traditional tagging methods.</p><p>At Obsidian Digital, we’ve completed over 200 advanced server-side implementations across Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom setups.
