You can use the Manual Page View tag when you need manual control of collected destination and referral URL values.

Referring and destination URL are normally collected automatically when the standard Page View tag is called (from document.referrer and window.location.href, respectively). You should use the Manual Page View tag only upon specific recommendations from Acoustic Support.
