Approved Tags

Allowlist the Google Tag Manager container IDs your site is supposed to load, and block every other container from the same provider.

Approved Tags lets you allowlist Google Tag Manager container IDs. While the list has at least one approved ID, cside blocks other containers from that provider through its script-blocking controls. It does not control code delivered outside those supported container loads.

Approved Tags currently supports Google Tag Manager. The list only affects containers loaded through that provider.

Approved Tags requires Script Method, a plan with script blocking (Business or above), and the Manage Script Blocks permission to make changes. cside must also enable the feature for your team. Contact support@cside.dev if the option is missing.

Finding Approved Tags

  1. Open the cside dashboard and select your team.
  2. Under Protection in the sidebar, click Approved tags.

Approving a container

  1. Enter a Google Tag Manager container ID, for example GTM-N7XKQ2P.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Click Save.

Once saved, only the containers on your list can load. Every other Google Tag Manager container is blocked. The change can take a few minutes to reach every page on your site.

Suggested containers

The panel shows a Seen in the last 24 hours list of container IDs that loaded on your domains but are not yet approved. Click Approve next to a suggestion to add it to your list without typing the ID by hand.

Removing an approval

Remove an ID and click Save. If other approved IDs remain, the removed container is blocked on future loads after configuration propagates. This does not undo code that has already run.

An empty list removes the restriction

Saving with no container IDs approved lifts the block entirely, rather than blocking every container. If you want to stop enforcing Approved Tags, remove all the IDs and save. If you want to keep enforcing it, keep at least one approved container ID on the list.
