Advertisers using Tracklution track 34.2% more conversions

How to implement accurate conversion tracking for Taboola in 16 minutes

Takes about 16 minutes. Then every native ad conversion gets counted automatically.

Step 01

6 min

Enable first-party data

Open the "First-Party Mode" tab in your Tracklution dashboard and copy your unique DNS record.

Add it at your domain provider, then verify it in Tracklution.

Tracking now runs first-party, bypassing ad blockers, iOS restrictions, and cookie limitations. Most users see reporting accuracy jump from 40-70% to near 100%.

Step 02

8 min

Install your Tracklution pixel

Add the pixel to your website, just as you would any other tracking pixel. Use the Shopify app, WooCommerce plugin, Google Tag Manager template, and more.

Standard events (Purchase, Lead, Add to Cart, etc.) are tracked automatically with Shopify and WooCommerce. With GTM, you add each event as a tag.

Step 03

2 min

Toggle Taboola live

Open the Taboola connector in your Tracklution dashboard and toggle it on. There's no API key or account connection to set up.

In Taboola Realize, create an event-based conversion for each event, using the same event name Tracklution sends.

Before going live, stop any Taboola pixel already sending the same conversions, or map those events to "block" in Event Mapping. Tracklution does not deduplicate against the pixel.

All done!

Your Taboola native campaigns will now optimize on complete, first-party conversion data.

Under the hood:

When someone converts on your website after clicking a Taboola native recommendation, Tracklution processes that data server-side and delivers it directly to Taboola's global postback endpoint, without relying on the browser-side pixel alone.

Taboola automatically appends a click ID (tblci) to all ad URLs. Tracklution captures this ID when the visitor lands and passes it through to the postback with every conversion event, so Taboola can attribute the sale to the correct campaign, even when the original browser cookie has been cleared or blocked.

Toggle the connector live, and your named conversion events start flowing. Tracklution automatically keeps the click ID attached, passes event value and currency, and respects your users' marketing consent before sending.

Note: Taboola requires each conversion event to be created in Realize, with the same event name Tracklution sends, before server-side data will populate.

Why use server-side tracking for Taboola Ads?

Missing data compounds at Taboola's scale

At Taboola's volumes, a 30-40% tracking gap isn't a rounding error. It means the Realize algorithm is learning from a fraction of real results, optimizing toward the wrong signals and pushing CPA up across the whole account.

Attribution breaks when cookies disappear

Taboola uses the tblci click ID to credit conversions to the right campaign. When cookies are blocked or cleared, the pixel loses it. Tracklution captures tblci when the visitor lands and sends it with every server-to-server postback, so attribution holds regardless of browser behavior.

Complete data unlocks better campaign decisions

With Tracklution, Taboola sees the conversions that browser tracking misses. Tracklution users recover an average 34.2% more tracked conversions, giving the Realize algorithm stronger signals to optimize campaigns, reduce waste, and scale what's actually working.

Privacy and security you can rely on

Tracklution is fully GDPR-compliant and certified under both ISO27001 and SOC2. Your data remains 100% yours — we never claim any rights to it. You have full control over what is tracked and what is sent to ad platforms. We’re simply your secure, privacy-first system provider.

Questions and answers

How does Tracklution work with Taboola?

Tracklution collects conversion data server-side and sends it to Taboola through their global postback endpoint. It captures the Taboola click ID (tblci) from the landing page URL and passes it through with every conversion event, so Realize attributes conversions correctly even when browser-side cookies are blocked or cleared.

Do I still need the Taboola pixel?

No, but if you have the pixel installed, you need to handle it before activating the connector. Either stop the Taboola pixel from sending the same conversions, or map those events to "block" in Tracklution's Event Mapping. Tracklution does not deduplicate against the pixel, so running both without blocking will result in duplicate conversions in Realize.

Do I need to define conversion events in Taboola Realize?

Yes. Taboola only records server-side conversions for events created in Realize. Create an event-based conversion and give it the same event name Tracklution sends. Taboola matches on the event name, not the conversion name, so a mismatch means the conversion won't show up.

What is the tblci click ID and does Tracklution handle it?

The tblci is Taboola's click attribution parameter, automatically appended to all ad URLs. Tracklution captures it when the visitor lands and passes it through with every conversion event.

How does setup work? Do I need to connect a Taboola account?

No. Just toggle the connector live in your Tracklution dashboard. Taboola routes conversions to the Realize account that ran the campaign using the tblci click ID.

Can Tracklution track both e-commerce and lead generation conversions for Taboola?

Yes. Tracklution can send purchases, leads, registrations, add to carts, checkout starts, and custom events. Whatever conversion your Taboola campaigns optimize toward, create it in Realize with a matching event name and Tracklution sends it.

How does Tracklution differ from other conversion tracking methods?

Instead of third-party scripts and cookies, Tracklution collects first-party data on your own domain, so iOS tracking prevention, ad blockers and similar tools don't cut your numbers short. We only send real conversions to Taboola and your other ad platforms, never modelled ones. With accurate data, the Realize bidding algorithm learns faster and can bring in more sales at a lower acquisition cost. Many Tracklution users have seen their conversion reporting climb from 40-70% coverage to near 100%, and you connect Taboola, Meta, Google Ads and the rest without writing a single line of code.

What is the uplift in conversion tracking?

Our data shows that Tracklution improves conversion tracking by 11-48% compared to basic pixel-only tracking, and users track +34.2% more conversions on average. How much you win back on Taboola depends on how many of your visitors use ad blockers or iOS privacy features, and on how your tracking is set up today.

How much does this cost?

Your first 14 days are on us. No credit card needed, and you can cancel anytime. After the trial, Taboola is covered by our paid plans, which start at €39/month, so you skip the developer hours a custom postback build would take. You'll find every plan on our pricing page.

Is Tracklution GDPR compliant?

Yes, as a company. Tracklution was designed and built in Finland, and all data is stored in the EU. We support Consent Mode V2, so when a visitor denies marketing consent, Tracklution sends nothing to Taboola for them. Your own setup still needs its own legal basis and a working cookie consent banner, and you decide which data gets sent.

Is there a free trial to get started?

Absolutely! Start your 14-day free trial, switch on the Taboola connector and watch your first conversions arrive before you pay anything. No credit card is required, and you can cancel anytime.
