Parameters for advanced measurements on Vantevo Analytics

In order to configure the parameters for advanced measurements, to the Vantevo script that you insert in your website, there is the possibility to add some parameters for the management of some advanced functions such as: 

<script defer id="vantevo-analytics" src="https://vantevo.io/js/vantevo.js"></script>

Development Mode​

data-param-dev

This parameter, used in development mode, simulates a request on your website without sending it. The script will not send the data to the server. Please check the browser console to view the request information.

You can only use this parameter if you are in development mode. If you are in the development mode in localhost, without this tag, you will see the message Ignore hits on localhost in the browser console. Instead, if you add the tag dev the script simulates a send and it writes down the data of the request in the browser console.

<script defer data-param-dev id="vantevo-analytics" src="https://vantevo.io/js/vantevo.js"></script>
