Sometimes its just laziness.
I was forced to add GTM to a site because it meant marketing could just hand over the GTM login and a pile of money to another company which could then provide them with pretty reports on what the customers were doing.
The analytics company promised to not do anything bad so it was OK.
And that was after an incident where the entire site was turned purple by another external JavaScript...

- cotillion 9y agoThe script was for a yearly user survey run by a small company. It has an awards ceremony attached so I think thats why some marketing people like it. After the survey ended the script was not removed of course. Around a year later the site changed color when their script started injecting a new stylesheet into our site. They never really said what happened only that they had restored the old version of the script. Maybe some developer pushed dev code to the old production url or maybe they were hacked.
