Question 3

Manual script blocking guide

Accepted Answer

Introduction

While auto-blocking is a quick and easy way to prevent cookies from being set, there are several reasons to want to consider manually marking up script tags to prevent them from setting cookies prior to consent.

Manually blocking cookies has a far lesser impact on store performance and will prevent cookies from being set even if the Pandectes GDPR Compliance scripts fail to load.

There are also situations where auto-blocking is not a viable solution, as it impacts the store to an extent that requires so many adjustments that manually marking up becomes a lesser ordeal.

Using the `data-cookiecategory` attribute

In order to block a script, the markup uses two parts. The disabler prevents the script tag from loading and the enabler allows Pandectes GDPR Compliance to enable this script tag if the appropriate consent has been given.

The steps to make it happen are the following and work the same for inline scripts and for external script tags.

Set the type to "javascript/blocked". As this tells the browser to regard the script as blocked javascript, this essentially disables the script.
Add the data-cookiecategory attribute and assign it one of these values: "functionality", "performance" or "targeting". This attribute defines the condition under which Pandectes GDPR Compliance needs to enable and load the script.

Question 4

How does Google Consent Mode work?

Accepted Answer

Google Consent Mode enables stores to adjust the behavior of their Google tags and scripts based on their users’ consent status. Tags are loaded on the pages before the consent dialog appears, so tag behavior will adjust dynamically depending on users’ cookie consent choices. Measurement tools will only be employed for specifically determining purposes if the user has given consent.

Users’ consent status is collected by our application and then Google Consent Mode transmits it to Google for further processing. No personal data is sent to Google, only information regarding your store user’s consent choices, e.g. allowing the use of particular targeting cookies. Users’ privacy preferences are maintained at every step, and companies maintain the ability to make data-driven decisions.

Google Consent Mode makes use of two new tags (adstorage_ and analyticsstorage_) to control the behavior of Google tags and cookies.

When consent is given, the associated tags will function normally, and you can make use of Google Ads and Google Analytics cookies for measurement and retargeting (business as usual).

If the user does not consent, Consent Mode uses pings to communicate that events have happened.

Events that pings are used for are:

Consent status: Pings are sent from each page a user visits (this also includes whether consent given by the user has been changed) for each cookie category.
Conversions: If a conve

Question 5

Pandectes GDPR Compliance & Analyzify

Accepted Answer

Analyzify offers a data analytics setup that uses Google’s Consent Mode on the Google Tag Manager container presented specifically to each user.

All the tags are triggered according to the user’s consent which is provided by our Pandectes GDPR Compliance application.

To make it work you will first need to follow our instructions on how to install our app.

Then you will need to upgrade to any paid plan and be able to have access to the integrations section where you will need to activate the Google Consent Mode.

As Analyzify uses Consent Mode as a GDPR solution you will need there to select the option “I have already installed Google Tag Manager and/or Google Analytics".

The rest of the setup can be done on the Analyzify app and on your GTM account.
