Validate that analytics and marketing tracking fire CORRECTLY: GA4/GTM dataLayer events, Meta/TikTok/LinkedIn pixels, and ad-tech tags. Covers building a tracking plan as the contract, intercepting collect-endpoint beacons and dataLayer.push in Playwright, asserting event name + params + values + timing + de-duplication, Consent Mode v2 gating, CI regression gating, and news-media events (article-view, scroll-depth, paywall). Use when: "test analytics tracking," "GA4 event test…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<objective>
Tracking that "looks fine" in GA4 DebugView still drops events silently after a refactor, sends the wrong currency, or double-counts a purchase. Reading `window.dataLayer` or asserting the button is `toBeVisible()` proves nothing — the beacon may never leave the browser. This skill makes you intercept the real network beacon (`google-analytics.com/g/collect`, `facebook.com/tr`, `analytics.tiktok.com`, `px.ads.linkedin.com`), parse the event name and parameters out of the request, and assert them against a tracking plan that is a typed contract — then gate that contract in CI so a dropped event fails the build.
</objective>

## Quick Route

| Situation | Go to |
|-----------|-------|
| Assert one GA4 event fired with correct params | [Intercepting GA4 beacons](#intercepting-ga4-beacons) |
| Treat the tracking plan as a validated contract | [The Tracking Plan Is the Contract](#the-tracking-plan-is-the-contract) |
| Verify dataLayer.push shape (not the beacon) | [Asserting dataLayer.push](#asserting-datalayerpush) |
| Pixel + server CAPI deduplication (event_id) | [Pixels and Server-Side Deduplication](#pixels-and-server-side-deduplication) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/analytics-tracking-testing@sha256:c7ac584777f3b246

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
