Tracking Method

Tracking Method is set to Browser + Server by default, and this is the recommended way to run Pinterest: Upstack loads the Pinterest tag on your storefront and also sends events server-side, and the two copies are deduplicated. If you don’t want to load the Pinterest tag in the browser, switch the Tracking Method to Server. See Tracking Method.
