3. Server-Side Tracking and Data Management
3.1. Server-side tracking (sGTM)
In addition to cookies in your browser, we use server-side tracking via Google Tag Manager Server-Side (sGTM), which we host ourselves on our own server (weigang.dk). This means that some data is sent from our server to the analytics tools instead of directly from your browser. This is used to:
- Improve the measurement accuracy of our analytics and advertising tools
- Reduce the number of third-party cookies in your browser
- Set first-party cookies (FPID, FPAU, and FPLC) for analytics and advertising purposes
Server-side tracking does not change what data is collected—it only changes the method of transmission. Your consent selections via the cookie banner are fully respected.
3.2. Hashing of Personal Data
When personal data such as email addresses and phone numbers are sent to advertising platforms (Google Ads) via server-side tracking, this is done in encrypted (hashed) form using SHA-256.
Your actual contact information is never shared directly with these platforms. Hashed data cannot be converted back to the original information and is used solely to measure advertising effectiveness.
3.3. External Scripts and Resources
Our website loads resources from the following external services:
| Source | Resource | Purpose |
| cdn-cookieyes.com | CookieYes | Cookie banner and consent management |
| unpkg.com | PhotoSwipe, HTML5 QR code | Image viewing in galleries and QR scanner for check-in during commercial photography sessions |
| fonts.googleapis.com | Google Fonts, Material Icons | Fonts and icons on image gallery pages |
| gateway.sumup.com | SumUp | Payment window for online payments |
These services may collect technical information (IP address, browser) when delivering the resources.
