Cross Domain Tracking
What is Cross Domain Tracking?
Cross domain tracking is the process of tracking analytics across multiple domains or subdomains.
You might want to do this if your marketing site and sign-up/checkout site are across different domains/subdomains, for example: yoursite.com and checkout.yoursite.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Glass maintain sessions across domains?

Do I need to use a conversion linker or something similar?
No. Just place the Glass tracking tag with the site_id you want to ingest data to on the target pages, and Glass will begin tracking. Cross domain tracking is built-in.
