Plain-English definition
What it is
Analytics organizes customer behavior while a first-party event path improves control over definitions, consent, attribution context, and server-side acceptance.
Analytics + first-party events
A controlled event layer for visits, engagement, form progress, accepted leads, and acquisition context.
