Yandex Metrica auto-generated tag
If you notice an unfamiliar tag that you didn't create in the list of Yandex Metrica tags, it might be an auto-generated tag.
Auto-generated tags are created and configured by Yandex services to collect data on them if:
-
You're the owner of a campaign in Yandex Direct, or you have representative access to the campaign. The tag is used on Turbo sites generated in Yandex Direct.
-
You're the owner of a company in Yandex Business, or you have access to one. You can use this tag to track target events on Yandex.
-
You're a YAN partner. The tag is used for tracking ad unit impression statistics.
In the list, an auto-generated tag usually has a standard name, for example:
-
Tag for Yandex Direct Turbo sites —
Turbo Pages <random set of characters>. -
Tag associated with Yandex Business —
<Name of your company> - <Company's address, if specified in Yandex Business>. -
YAN tag —
<YAN page name> - <YAN page ID>.
Automatic tags can't be edited — access to them is view-only. Rules for granting access to other users are different for each service.

Questions and answers
Can I delete an auto-generated tag from the list?
If you delete a tag from the list, you will lose access to the statistics it collected. To restore access, you will need to contact Support. This is why we do not recommend deleting a tag.
To delete a YAN tag and auto-generated tags, stop the associated impressions in the Yandex Advertising Network. In the Partner interface, select the website where the tag is installed and click → Stop impressions. In 24 hours, it becomes a regular Yandex Metrica tag and can be deleted.
Can I install an auto-generated tag on my site?
We do not recommend placing these tags on a site, since you will not have access to edit it. This means statistics will be collected incorrectly.
Can I change the name of a tag?
No. Tag names are generated automatically.
What is the “Clicked Call” goal in the tag settings?
With this goal, Yandex Metrica tracks clicks on the phone number in the organization's card, as well as taps on the icon in the mobile version of all services that transmit data to the organization's tag.
How do I correct goals in the tag settings?
You can’t change the goals of an auto-generated tag.
