Advantages of implementing at.js using the Target Launch extension

The following advantages apply only if you use Adobe Launch to implement at.js. For this reason we strongly suggest that you use Adobe Launch rather than DTM or a manual implementation of at.js.

• Solves Analytics and Target Race Condition: Because the Analytics call could be fired before the Target call, the Target call is not stitched to the Analytics call. This can lead to incorrect data. Starting with 0.6.0, the Target Launch extension ensures that the Analytics beacon call waits until the Target call completes, successfully or not. This should solve the data inconsistency customers might have experienced.
• Prevents Incorrect Redirect Offer Handling: If you have Target and Analytics on the page, and there is a redirect offer executed by Target, you might experience a situation in which the Analytics tracker fires a request when it shouldn’t (because the user is being redirected to a different URL). If you implement Target and Analytics via Launch, you’ll not experience this issue. Using Launch, Target instructs Analytics to abort the Analytics beacon request.
