Consent

...

levels

...

It's possible to set consent independently for three categories:

1. essential cookie consent
2. tracking cookie consent
3. tracking consent

...

Essential cookie consent

cookies Cookies that are considered essential:

• xcConsent holds information about consent levels:

  • essentialCookieConsent=true|false saves  saves essential cookie consent (will never be false, because in that case it wouldn't be allowed to be set)

  • trackingConsent=true|false saves tracking consent

  • trackingCookieConsent=true|false saves tracking cookie consent

• xcSessId=node...  holds the current session ID

...

Tracking cookie consent

Saves tracking cookies if enabled. Tracks without cookies when disabled and when selected tracking
implementation(s) support tracking without cookies.

• xcVisitorId  for recognizing a user across sessions, advisors or pages (also used for commerce
  tracking)

...

Matomo cookies

• _xcpk_ses.[matomoSpaceId].xxx , e.g. _xcpk_ses.33.1fff : matomo session data
• _xcpk_id.[matomoSpaceId].xxx , e.g. _xcpk_id.33.1fff : matomo visitor data

...

Tracking consent

Tracks the user with the configured tracking implementation(s). If tracking cookie consent is
disabled and a tracking implementation doesn't support tracking without cookies, it does not track.

Setting consent

...

If no consent is configured explicitly, everything defaults to true. If another default behavior is required, please ask excentos to configure it to your needs.

Integration URL

Consent consent may be set initially via the following integration url parameters

• xcEssentialCookieConsent=true|false  for setting essential cookie consent
• xcTrackingConsent=true|false  for setting tracking consent
• xcTrackingCookieConsent=true|false  for setting tracking cookie consent

...

Everything defaults to

...

 true if not set or to the conf key values if they exist.

Global function (advanced)

Once the advisor has been initialised, there is a global function available for changing consent. This may be used to pass consent changes to the advisor:
window.xcSetConsent(consent) 
, with

consent={
	trackingConsent: true|false,
	essentialCookieConsent: true|false,
	trackingCookieConsent: true|false,
}

not Not all options have to be set. anything that's not passed will stay on the previous setting.

...

Example usage

enable Enable essential cookies and tracking, disable tracking cookies:

window.xcSetConsent({
	trackingConsent: true,
	essentialCookieConsent: true,
	trackingCookieConsent: false,
})

disable Disable tracking, keep all other settings:

window.xcSetConsent({
	trackingConsent: false,
})

...

Custom implementation

custom Custom implementation by excentos to connect an existing tracking tool via available interfaces to our consent
management

matomo notes

...

• however if tracking is disabled initially, matomo won't be initialized and thus the cookie won't be set - only if it's disabled lateron
