Get Complete Data, Despite the Roadblocks
The Challenge
Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) in Safari and iOS aggressively blocks traditional third-party analytics cookies and scripts, making it hard to measure engagement from a large portion of your audience.
Solution
We use a first-party data collection method. By setting up DataCops through a subdomain of your own website (analytics.yourdomain.com), Safari and iOS see our tracking script as part of your site, not an unfamiliar third party.
You reliably collect analytics data from users on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, overcoming ITP limitations and recovering insights you were previously missing.
The Challenge
Millions use ad blockers (blocking known analytics domains) and privacy-focused browsers (like Brave or DuckDuckGo) that prevent third-party tracking scripts from loading, creating significant gaps in your data.
Solution
Because DataCops runs via your own subdomain, it isn't recognized as a typical third-party tracker by most ad blockers or privacy browsers. The data request stays within your domain structure, avoiding common blocklists.
Continue to gather essential analytics data even from users employing ad blockers or privacy-enhancing browsers, ensuring a more complete view of your entire audience.
Step 1
Script Validation
<script>
!function (t, r, y, d, a, ta, co, ps)
{if (r.getElementById(a)) return;
t[y] = t[y] || function ()
{ (t[y].q = t[y].q || []).push(arguments); };
co = r.createElement(d);
co.async = true;
co.src = "https://datacops.undefined/" + d + "?cop_key=" + ta;
co.id = a;
ps = r.getElementsByTagName(d)[0];
ps.parentNode?.insertBefore(co, ps);
}
(window, document, "datacops", "script", "datacops_script", "");
</script>After logging in, click Add Website to grab the script. Paste the script into your website's <head> section and complete the verification.
Step 2
Domain Setup – Add DNS Record
Add the provided DNS record to your domain’s DNS settings.
It may take anywhere from 5 minutes to 48 hours for the changes to propagate and be verified, depending on your domain provider.
Integration
Our Script almost works flawlessly with any website framework to collect analytics data in a more accurate manner!
