Hi, Please find the answers for your questions below:
1. Google Ads uses the Google Click Identifier (GCLID) to track clicks and associate them with conversions. While Google Ads does not store the GCLID itself in your account data, it uses the associated metadata, including timestamps, to determine when the click occurred. 2. Google Ads records the exact timestamp when a click occurs. This timestamp is in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). When you upload a conversion, you provide a conversionDateTime. This value can be in any timezone, but it must be formatted correctly and should ideally be in UTC for consistency. If you provide a timezone offset, Google Ads will convert the conversionDateTime to UTC before comparing it with the click timestamp. If your conversion timestamp (2024-07-09 10:30:47+00:00) is correctly later than the click timestamp (2024-07-09 09:57:47+00:00), then there should be no CONVERSION_PRECEDES_EVENT error unless there was an issue with the timezone conversion or the recorded click timestamp. I would recommend you to kindly refer to the ''conversion_date_time" guide for more detailed information. In order to investigate your issue further, kindly provide us with the complete API logs (request and response logs with request-id and request header) generated at your end to better assist you further. If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag. You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.
