container audit
GTM-KDDL5WZ
99 tags, 3 custom scripts, 5 third-party hosts — an ordinary container, near the middle of what we measure (median: 39 tags, 4 custom scripts).
- 3 custom HTML tags carrying 1 KB of JavaScript. This runs on every page the container loads on.
- 5 third-party hosts reachable from its tags.

What we observed
A real browser loaded decameron.com a month ago and recorded every request it made. This is what happened, as distinct from what the container is configured to do. It is one page load — anything that fires only deeper in the site did not fire here.
Container loaded from
googletagmanager.com — GoogleMeasurement sent to
google-analytics.com — GoogleConsent
a consent banner was present and we accepted it. Measurement fired beforehand but carried no identifier —
analytics_storage was denied, which is Consent Mode working as designed rather than a gap. 10 hosts appeared only after consent was granted. Google recorded gcs=G100 (all denied).Third parties contacted
21 hosts — cdn.cookie-script.com, www.googletagmanager.com, unpkg.com, www.google-analytics.com, bookcore.backhotelengine.com, consent.cookie-script.com, googleads.g.doubleclick.net, www.google.com, and 13 more

Where the data goes
Not observed — on the page we loaded, measurement went to Google and nowhere else. observed on decameron.com More info »
Findings
Ordered by consequence. review has a concrete cost when it bites; info is real but depends on your setup. Seen is how common it is across the containers we have measured — reported separately on purpose, because common and harmless are different claims.
reviewdocument.write (1)
1 piece of custom code call document.write.
Whydocument.write blocks the HTML parser while it runs, and browsers ignore it entirely once the page has finished parsing — so an async-loaded tag using it can silently do nothing.
CheckIf these tags fire on page load they are costing render time; if they fire later they may not be working at all. Worth confirming the tag still does what it was added to do.

infoOne variable that a great deal depends on (40)
"ga4" is read by 40 tags and triggers — more than anything else in this container.
WhyGTM shows you where a variable is defined, never how much depends on it. Editing this one touches a large share of the container at once, and whatever breaks will surface somewhere that looks unrelated to the change.
CheckBefore changing it, check what reads it. If it feeds both measurement and consent or routing logic, split those uses apart first.
Seenseen in 10.1% of 46,522 containers measured
infoConsent configuration detected (3)
The container declares one or more consent signals.
WhyConsent handling is present in the container. This describes what the artifact declares; what actually happened on the page is measured separately, above.
CheckConfirm these settings match the consent policy you intend to enforce, and compare them with the before-and-after observation.

infoLoads JavaScript from another host (1)
1 piece of custom code fetch and run JavaScript from another host.
WhyWhatever that host serves executes with full access to the page — it can read the DOM, cookies and form fields. The code is not in this container, so it can change at any time without any change here.
CheckConfirm you recognise every host below and that someone owns the relationship. A host you cannot name is the one to chase.

Third parties it can reach
Each host is a party that can execute code or receive data in a visitor's browser. Follow one to see who else loads it. More info »

What the custom templates can do
Custom templates are third-party code shipped inside the container. Injecting scripts and running page globals is ordinary for them — most tag templates need it to work — so this is an inventory, not a warning. It lists the capability each template declares so you can match it against templates you meant to install.

Re-audit
This reading is from a month ago. A container can be republished at any time, and nothing here updates on its own — a fresh read is the only way to know whether it still says this. Running it again replaces this page in place, so the link keeps working.
Put this container under version control. Tagora exports it to a repository you own, so every change arrives as a pull request. How it works »
