Description
Hello,
Looking at the code implementation, I'm not actually seeing any use of manager.fetch. There are only calls being done with the client.fetch API.
If I understood correctly how managed components works, this means that this doesn't actually send server side requests to google, but will simply send the requests from the browser ? I can actually see those requests being sent to google when I inspect the network tab, and the Zaraz debug tool doesn't log any server side requests being sent, only client side requests.
I know a clear documentation on how to implement a custom server side tracking for Google Ads is pretty much non-existent (I couldn't find any official resource on this, everything points to using Google Tag Manager).
So is it actually possible to do proper server side tracking for Google Ads ? Or are we doomed to keep that tracking part client side only ?

Research direction
Inspect the TypeScript implementation and trace the manager.fetch and client.fetch entry points. Use the browser network tab and Zaraz debug tool observations described in the issue to determine which requests are client-side versus server-side. Done means establishing whether proper server-side Google Ads tracking is supported and documenting or scoping the required change.
