TPE #86: new GA4 & Google Ads tracking updates

Summary

Google's new update aims to streamline conversion data between GA4 and Google Ads.

Despite improvements, GA4 lacks in several tracking capabilities. The advice remains to use Google Ads Tag for primary conversion tracking and GA4 for backup.
