How do I install a visitor ID tag on Django?
On Django, your visitor identification tag goes in: base.html template via {% static %} template tag OR inline <script> in template. The install itself takes minutes; the part that goes wrong on Django is below.
Where the tag goes
- base.html template via {% static %} template tag OR inline <script> in template.
- Paste your vendor’s tag snippet exactly as issued. Do not wrap it in extra script tags or reformat it.
- Publish or deploy, then verify (below) before trusting data.
What breaks visitor tracking on Django?
Django does not process inline scripts in templates; static files must be in STATIC_FILES directories and served via collectstatic.
How do you verify the tag fires?
python manage.py runserver, inspect http://localhost:8000/admin, check page source for static file src URLs.
Then run through the labeled QA checklist before you rely on the numbers, and set expectations with the match-rate calculator — no vendor identifies every visitor.
