# Google Tag Manager Analytics Integration

> Install tinyanalytics with a Google Tag Manager Custom HTML tag that fires on all pages, without changing your site's source code.

To add tinyanalytics through **Google Tag Manager (GTM)**, create a Custom HTML tag containing the tracking snippet and fire it on all pages. This keeps the install in your GTM container, so you don't touch your site's code.

## Before you start

* A tinyanalytics site. If you don't have one yet, follow the [Quickstart](/docs/tinyanalytics-quickstart).
* Your snippet from **Settings → Tracking** in your dashboard.
* GTM already installed on your site, with a container you can edit.

## Create a Custom HTML tag

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a new Custom HTML tag">
    In your GTM workspace, go to **Tags → New**, and choose the **Custom HTML** tag type.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the snippet">
    Paste your tinyanalytics snippet as the tag's HTML:

    ```html theme={null}
    <script defer src="https://dash.tinyanalytics.io/script.js"
      data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Trigger it on all pages">
    Set the tag's trigger to **All Pages** so it loads everywhere on your site.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit and publish">
    Save the tag, then **Submit** and **Publish** your container. The tag is live once the container is published.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Replace `YOUR_SITE_ID` with your real site ID, and copy the full snippet from **Settings → Tracking** if you've toggled any options.
</Tip>

<Note>
  If you use GTM's consent settings, make sure the tag is allowed to fire — a tag blocked by consent won't load tinyanalytics. Core anonymous analytics uses no cookies or stored browser ID, but optional features can use browser storage. See [Privacy & GDPR](/docs/resources/privacy-friendly-analytics-gdpr) when configuring consent.
</Note>

## Verify

Use GTM **Preview** to confirm the tag fires, then open your site and check **Realtime** in your dashboard for your visit. See [Verify your setup](/docs/verify-tinyanalytics-installation) for the full check.

<Check>
  Your install is working when the tag fires in GTM **Preview** and your own visit appears in **Realtime** in your dashboard.
