Google analytics Allows manual tagging (UTM values) to override auto-tagging (GCLID values) for Google Ads and Search Ads 360 integration. It is also applicable in Piwik pro?

Hi. Whatever comes in via `utm_` tags should be stored as campaign dimensions (in addition to the `gclid` that is used to combine analytics data with add cost data fetched from Google Ads).

Hi Kuba, do you mean that UTM tag can be used as a 2nd dimension for a URL with both gclid and utm tags?

It won’t override auto-tagging, it will be simply stored in the standard campaign dimensions. So you can separately analyze google ads integration and campaign parameters set via utm tags.
