This guide walks you through setting up Hardal's cookieless analytics on your website using Google Tag Manager, ensuring proper tracking without cookies.

Navigate to your Hardal dashboard and select your signal. Click **Settings** > **Setup** in the left menu.

Copy the Hardal tracking script displayed on the Setup page. This is the fundamental script you'll use for cookieless tracking.

### Basic Settings

Name your tag descriptively, such as "Hardal init" or "Hardal Tracking Script".

### Enable document.write Support

Enable **Support document.write** to ensure the script tracks events properly. This setting allows the script to function correctly across all scenarios.

### Advanced Settings

Click on **Advanced Settings** and configure:

**Tag firing options:** Select "Once per page" to ensure the script loads only once per page view.

**Consent Settings:** Choose "No additional consent required" since Hardal uses cookieless tracking. However, always ensure this aligns with your company's privacy policies and legal requirements.

Select a trigger for when the tag should fire. For initial setup, choose **All Pages** to track all page views.
