Pixel + CAPI Dual Tracking

Why browser-only tracking is no longer enough

The Pixel-Only Problem

Browser-side tracking faces unprecedented challenges

  • Ad blockers block 30%+ of Pixel events
  • Safari ITP limits cookies to 7 days
  • iOS 14.5+ ATT crashed user match rates
  • Browser privacy policies keep tightening

CAPI Server-Side Rescue

Send events directly from your server, bypassing browser limitations

  • Server-to-server transmission, immune to blockers
  • First-party data sent to Meta, 40% better match rate
  • Event deduplication prevents double counting
  • Custom params: deposit_amount, player_tier

Postback & FTD Attribution

Real ROAS starts with first-deposit tracking

What is Postback?

A mechanism where the operator backend actively sends conversion data to the tracking system.

  • Real-time FTD event callbacks
  • Server-to-Server protocol support
  • Custom callback params & delay settings
  • Anti-fraud verification layer

FTD Tracking Flow

Complete journey tracking from ad click to first deposit.

  • Ad Click -> LP -> Registration -> FTD
  • Click ID persists across entire funnel
  • Real-time matching: ad source to deposit amount
  • Deferred attribution (7-day / 28-day windows)

Real ROAS vs Vanity Metrics

Stop measuring registrations. Measure deposits and lifetime value.

  • FTD ROAS: ad spend vs total first deposits
  • Net Revenue ROAS: after bonus deductions
  • Breakdown by ad set, creative, audience
  • Daily / weekly automated reporting

EMQ Score Optimization

Event Match Quality directly impacts ad delivery and CPA

Before4.2
  • Pixel events only
  • Missing hashed email / phone
  • No external_id matching
  • fbclid frequently lost
After8.7
  • Pixel + CAPI deduplicated
  • SHA-256 hashed PII — all fields
  • external_id + fbclid + fbc triple match
  • IP + User Agent assisted matching

Data Enrichment

Collect email, phone, country at registration. SHA-256 hash and send alongside events.

Identity Stitching

Bind browser-side fbclid to server-side user ID via external_id for cross-device matching.

Event Deduplication

Generate unique event_id for each event. Pixel and CAPI share the same ID — Meta deduplicates automatically.

Continuous Monitoring

Weekly EMQ dashboard review. Investigate and fix low-match-rate events individually.

LTV ROAS Reporting

Beyond FTD — redefine ad returns with player lifetime value

D1 / D7 / D30 Retention

Track revisit frequency and active days by player cohort

Player LTV Curve

Cumulative net revenue from FTD to Day 90, segmented by channel

LTV:CAC Ratio

Lifetime value to customer acquisition cost ratio — target > 3:1

Cohort Analysis

Group by registration week/month, compare player quality over time

Reporting & Automation

  • Automated daily / weekly reports via Telegram
  • LTV breakdown by ad set, creative, geo
  • Budget reallocation recommendations (LTV-driven)
  • Anomaly alerts: CPA spikes, retention drops in real time
  • Google Sheets / Looker Studio integration
  • Custom dashboards & KPI tracking
