Quotes from this Episode:
“Obviously when you're bootstrapped and smaller, you want to be different.” – Emeric Ernoult
“If you think a hundred percent of whatever you do is gonna be tracked, you're wrong.” – Emeric Ernoult
“In order to link a source to a result on your website, there must be a link, and that link will have trackable characters, like usually UTMs.” – Emeric Ernoult
“So that's a way to bypass all the issues raised by GDPR and California privacy and yada, 'cause you're not going against them.” – Emeric Ernoult
“If you are a marketer and you want credit for the work you do, you have to put in some work.” – Emeric Ernoult
