Yahoo! JAPAN Tag Manager The end of support for Pixel format tags and automatic generation of JavaScript format tags

Product

Yahoo! JAPAN Tag Manager

Schedule

March 15, 2023 (Wed)
*This date is subject to change.

Overview

As we recently announced in the "End of support for previous tags," we will no longer support Pixel format (previous version) tags in Yahoo! JAPAN Tag Manager.
As part of the migration assistance to JavaScript format tags, we will automatically generate JavaScript format tags that take over the existing Pixel format settings.
When you are currently using Pixel format tags, migrate to JavaScript format tags by using automatically generated tags.

Tags for automatic generation

The JavaScript tags will be automatically generated based on the following tags that are "active" as of 12:00 PM JST on March 8, 2023:

■Search Ads

  • Site retargeting (Pixel)
  • Site retargeting: custom

■Display Ads

  • Conversion tag (Pixel)

*If the status of the tag is either "Inactive" or "Preview," it will not be subject to automatic generation.
*Existing Pixel format tags will remain in place after JavaScript format tags are automatically generated.

Remarks

  • The status of the automatically generated tags will be " Inactive," so there will be no impact on the actual operation unless you change the status.
  • Tags are not automatically migrated. You need to change the status of the automatically generated tag to "active" by yourself.
  • To learn more about tag migration process, download the following document:

  • You are free to edit the setting items of the automatically generated tags.
  • When migrating, you may also migrate to JavaScript tags created by yourself as usual. When using auto-generated tags, you do not need to create tags manually.
