container audit
GTM-PW9M3CC
69 tags, 3 custom scripts, 2 third-party hosts — an ordinary container, near the middle of what we measure (median: 39 tags, 4 custom scripts).
- 3 custom HTML tags carrying 3 KB of JavaScript. This runs on every page the container loads on.
- 2 third-party hosts reachable from its tags.
- Measurement runs through a server container on its own domain — the mark of a mature setup, and rarer than the tooling vendors imply.

What we observed
A real browser loaded courtyard.io 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
api.courtyard.io — the site's own host, at /metrics/gtm.js rather than the default path, and googletagmanager.comMeasurement sent to
api.courtyard.io — not Google, at /metrics/g/collectMeasurement runs through the site's own infrastructure. Part of the tag library still comes from Google, which is normal — the two are loaded separately.
Forwarded to
GA4 ×4 — read from the measurement id, not the hostname
Consent
a consent platform is present, but our browser could not complete the accept step — so the before-and-after comparison did not run here. 1 host appeared only after consent was granted. Google recorded
gcs=G1 (no consent signal).Third parties contacted
25 hosts — o4504697013534720.ingest.us.sentry.io, explorer-api.walletconnect.com, auth.privy.io, www.googletagmanager.com, www.redditstatic.com, sc-static.net, analytics.tiktok.com, www.google.com, and 17 more

Where the data goes
Confirmed — a browser watched this site send measurement data to api.courtyard.io, not to Google. observed on courtyard.io 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.
reviewWrites cookies directly (1)
1 piece of custom code set cookies in code.
WhyCookies set this way bypass GTM's consent settings, because the consent checks live in the tag templates rather than in raw JavaScript.
CheckIf any of these cookies are used for analytics or advertising, confirm they are still gated on a consent decision.
Seenseen in 21.2% of 46,522 containers measured
reviewNo consent signal in the container (1)
Nothing in this container sets, reads, or gates on a consent state.
WhyThe container itself neither sets a Consent Mode default, holds any tag back for consent, nor references a known consent platform. Either enforcement lives entirely outside GTM — where it cannot be audited from here — or tags fire regardless of what a visitor chose.
CheckIf a consent platform blocks scripts before GTM loads, this is fine — confirm that is actually the case. If not, tags are firing on a choice nobody recorded.

infoLoads JavaScript from another host (2)
2 pieces 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 »
