Floodlight is the conversion tracking system for Google. All of Google’s marketing properties can use Floodlight, and you can use a single set of tags to track all of your Google conversions. Like most other conversion tracking platforms, Floodlight uses tags to track all activity on your website, along with reporting features to add data to the conversions!
In 2018, Google sunset DoubleClick Floodlight Global, rebranding as Campaign Manager 360. DoubleClick is currently in place for Classic Checkout. DoubleClick will stay Classic Checkout only, continuing to function on scripts that Google has converted over on the Google side.
Support for Campaign Manager 360 will be for Event Listings Only.
