Google Tag Manager is a “Tag Management System” (TMS). It is a service that allows you to use a small piece of javascript code on a web page to call other pieces of javascript code. To simplify, it is an empty box (called a container) in which you can display what you want (a tag) when you want.

The main interest of TMS is that you perform a technical intervention on your site only once. Once the TMS javascript is added, there is no need to worry about it. The rest of the configuration is done in the TMS management interface.

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a service offered by Google. From the GTM management interface, you add tags and define triggers.
Tags are the different javascript codes that you want to execute in the container on your site.
Triggers are rules that you define to trigger the display of tags.

GTM offers a large number of tags and triggers by default.
