Integration Approach

TYPO3 integrations are typically implemented via:

1. Extensions - Install from TER or via Composer
2. TypoScript - Configure tracking in site setup
3. Fluid templates - Add tracking to templates
4. Manual code - Add to page headers/footers

Recommended Extensions

Google Tag Manager:

composer require georgringer/google-tag-manager

Matomo (Privacy-focused alternative):

composer require mittwald/typo3-matomo-integration

Cookie Consent:

composer require dmind/cookieman

TypoScript Implementation

Add GTM via TypoScript:

page.headerData.10 = TEXT
page.headerData.10.value (
  <!-- Google Tag Manager -->
  <script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){...})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXX');</script>
  <!-- End Google Tag Manager -->
)

Data Layer with Fluid

Create data layer in Fluid templates:

<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
window.dataLayer.push({
  'pageType': '{data.doktype}',
  'pageTitle': '{data.title}',
  'language': '{data.sys_language_uid}'
});
</script>

Privacy Considerations

TYPO3 community strongly emphasizes GDPR compliance:

• Always implement cookie consent before tracking
• Consider Matomo as a privacy-friendly alternative
• Use server-side tracking for sensitive data
• Implement IP anonymization
