Wicked Reports Tracking Technology

Vector 12-Feb-12-2026-09-44-56-6904-AM

 

Enterprise-grade tracking that captures more data, identifies more customers, and powers attribution you can actually trust.

 

THE PROBLEM
 
THE SOLUTION
 
  • 30–60% of customer journeys are lost to blockers, cookies, and consent
  • Top-of-funnel new customer data disappears first
  • AI dashboards can’t fix missing data — they just prettify it
THE SOLUTION
  • Capture ~99%+ of journeys with custom-domain tracking
  • Identify more leads before form submission
  • Make confident Scale / Chill / Kill decisions for new customer growth

Wicked leans on 1st party data to determine conversions.  Your data is accurate because we only report conversions we can prove in your data: CRM, Shopping Cart, or Recurring Subscription Payment.

The core difference:
We don’t just capture UTMs — we capture identity and behavior.

Most attribution tools are built to capture clicks. Some capture cookies. Very few are designed to consistently identify people.

When identity breaks, attribution breaks. And when attribution breaks, marketing decisions default to last-click bias — even when dashboards look sophisticated.

Wicked Reports is built differently. We focus on identifying the human behind the click and stitching their journey together across sessions, platforms, and time. That’s what makes attribution durable.

The core difference

What “identity” means in plain English

Vector 13-2

 

Identity is any durable signal that allows us to connect marketing touchpoints to a real person or customer — even when cookies fail.

Identity signals we capture (depending on your setup):

email-1
Email captured before form submission (when available)
how_to_reg
Platform identifiers such as HubSpot visitor keys
assignment_returned
Checkout and order identifiers, including PayPal return paths

Identity is not the same as cookies. Identity persists when cookies decay, expire, or are blocked.

How it works in 3 steps

Vector 12-4

 
Measure
Step 1

Measure

Capture more truth with custom-domain tracking and resilient client-side instrumentation.

Signal-1
Step 2

Signal

Send cleaner, better-identified conversion signals to Meta and other ad platforms so they optimize for the right outcomes.

Decide
Step 3

Decide

Use attribution aligned to your goal — paired with a decision framework (Scale / Chill / Kill) — to act with confidence.

Custom domain tracking: the data-capture multiplier

Vector 13-2

 

Tracking breaks in predictable places: ad blockers, browser privacy features, and cookie consent — especially in the EU.

Standard tracking setups often capture only ~70% of journeys globally and closer to ~40% in consent-heavy regions. That missing data disproportionately impacts top-of-funnel discovery and new customer attribution.

By loading tracking from a subdomain on your site (e.g. tracking.yourbrand.com), Wicked Reports makes tracking requests indistinguishable from normal site traffic — dramatically reducing loss.

Custom domain tracking

Cookieless mode: built for privacy-first markets

Hero Vector

Cookie icon
In regions where cookie consent destroys visibility, Wicked Reports offers a cookieless tracking mode designed to maintain practical attribution without relying on browser cookies.
Privacy icon
This allows brands operating in the EU and other regulated markets to restore tracking coverage — often approaching ~99% — while remaining privacy-forward.

Capture identity earlier:
30–40% more identified leads

Most attribution platforms can only identify a visitor after a form is successfully submitted.

Wicked Reports captures email addresses as users type — before they hit submit. This dramatically increases the number of identifiable journeys, especially at the top of the funnel.

Why it matters:

how_to_reg
More identified users
card_travel
Fewer unattributed conversions
ads_click-1
Less artificial last-click bias

Attribution aligned to marketer outcomes — not platform bias

Vector 13-4

 

Different questions require different attribution models. Wicked Reports supports first-touch, last-touch, and multi-touch attribution so you can align reporting to the decision you’re making.

We also retain the underlying journey data long-term — because the questions you ask six months from now aren’t the same ones you ask today.

Wicked Reports vs
Edge Tracking Servers
  • Edge tracking servers can capture inbound UTMs and clicks, but they do not inherently observe on-site behavior such as typed form fields or client-side interactions.
  • You also still need to retain click data indefinitely and apply attribution models aligned to business outcomes. Edge capture alone does not solve the attribution decision problem.
Wicked Reports vs
Triple Whale
  • Triple Whale relies primarily on browser cookies combined with post-purchase survey data.
  • Cookies commonly result in 30–40% data loss, especially at the top of the funnel where prospects are anonymous and discovery happens. When that data disappears, attribution drifts toward last-click bias.
  • More AI cannot fix missing data. Wicked Reports focuses on preventing data loss at the source through custom-domain tracking and earlier identity capture.
Wicked Reports vs
Northbeam
  • Northbeam relies on cookie-based tracking combined with modeled outputs and short attribution windows.
  • Cookie loss — especially at the top of the funnel — compresses attribution toward conversion events, making prospecting appear weaker and retargeting appear stronger than reality.
  • Wicked Reports uses deterministic identity capture and long-term retention so early discovery isn’t lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vector 12-1

 

If you want maximum capture reliability, yes.

Cookies are first-party in both setups; the difference is how scripts and endpoints are treated by blockers.

Cookieless mode exists specifically for consent-heavy environments.

More complete journeys, fewer unattributed conversions, clearer new customer performance.
