Description
This template loads a JavaScript library from IP Geolocation API. This JavaScript library is automatically compiled to geolocate the user based on their IP address (or a custom IP address if you so choose). This information is then pushed into dataLayer for you to use.
The API can also be used to derive things like ISP data.
The API has a generous free tier, and the template includes the option of caching the information in browser storage to avoid making too many calls to the API.
See the API documentation and my accompanying blog post for more information on how the template can be used.
