You may choose to do conversion tracking without installing the PMC pixel. This can be done via Server-side pixel (S2S pixel) tracking.
The option is typically used when you do not have access to the source code advertiser website or for conversions that happen on 3rd party platforms (for example mobile downloads on the play store).
In the server-side pixels, the pixel is fired from your servers and does not need to be placed on the webpage.
IMPLEMENTATION OF S2S TRACKING
Please log into PMC via campaigns.performmedia.com and follow the below instructions.
