Frequently Asked Questions
Snowplow defaults to using UTM parameters, but it can be configured to use any custom parameters as well.
Out of the box, Snowplow defines sessions client-side based on a 30-minute timeout. The client-side sessionization behavior can be configured, such as changing the timeout or resetting the session if the user comes in from a marketing campaign. Because the event-level data is in the customer’s own Snowflake instance, it’s also possible to bring your own custom sessionization logic.
There are several reasons – with the Snowflake GA4 connector, the data path is long, expensive due to egress costs, and has latency issues which prevents building real-time applications. The pipeline is also opaque. With Snowplow, data lands in the customer’s Snowflake in real-time, the data is richer and easier to work with using Snowplow’s data modeling.
DPG Media and Strava are two great examples. DPG uses Snowplow for all their behavioral data collection powering various ML use cases and analytics on Snowflake. Strava has instrumented their app with Snowplow allowing product managers to access data created by other PMs and build a single customer view.
Like Google and Adobe, Snowplow acts as a data processor while their customers are data controllers. Snowplow provides customers broad tools to meet their obligations like anonymous tracking for non-consenting users, data pseudonymization and obfuscation, tracking metadata for data collected under different privacy policies. Snowplow takes measures to ensure they are compliant by not touching customer data, allowing encryption keys, and following technical and organizational design patterns for data security.
