  If your Google Analytics 4 reports show fewer conversions than your CRM, you are not looking at a reporting quirk. You are looking at a data gap — and it is caused by something most marketing teams do not see coming. Ad blockers affect between 25 and 40 percent of web traffic, depending on the industry and device type. Every blocked request is a conversion event your analytics never receives.  Browser privacy tools like Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) compound the problem further by capping the lifespan of JavaScript-set cookies at just seven days.

They cannot block a request from your server to Meta's Conversions API. When tracking runs server-side, the conversion signal travels directly from your server to...
