### Example: Event Logs in the DataLayer

When a recommendation banner appears:

```json
{
  "event": "ab_recos_[uuid]",
  "recos": {
    "reco_id": "[RECO_ID]",
    "action_id": "show",
    "item_id": "",
    "item_ids": "[\"21222\",\"12073\",\"21464\",\"6762\"]",
    "debug_mode": false,
    "non_interaction": false
  }
}
```

When a product card is clicked:

```json
{
  "event": "ab_recos_[uuid]",
  "recos": {
    "reco_id": "[RECO_ID]",
    "action_id": "go_to_page",
    "item_id": "21222",
    "item_ids": "[\"21222\",\"12073\",\"21464\",\"6762\"]",
    "debug_mode": false,
    "non_interaction": false
  }
}
```

Each event includes a unique `uuid` to prevent collisions in the dataLayer.
