Enable and disable Tracking consent
Tracking consent is turned off by default. If you have a multisite Sitefinity CMS instance, it is turned off for all of the domains.
PREREQUISITES: Before using the Tracking consent functionality, you must prepare the consent dialog in one of the following ways:
- Modify the default template to enter the consent message title and text and localize it, if required.
For more information, see Modify the text of the consent dialog.
- You can also use a custom consent dialog, which you must create and place in folder
~/App_Data/Sitefinity/TrackingConsent/.
To turn on and customize Tracking consent, perform the following:
- In Sitefinity CMS backend, navigate to Administration » Settings.
- In the left pane, click Tracking Consent.
There is one default entry, whose scope is all domains, and the tracking consent is turned off by default
- To turn Tracking consent on for all domains from the multisite instance, click Any domain and select Ask users for consent to track their activities.
- If you want, you can change the default template.
By default, Sitefinity CMS uses the consent dialog consentDialog.html that is located in folder ~/App_Data/Sitefinity/TrackingConsent/.
To change the default template, click Change, select the template, and click Done.
- Click Done.
- To create another Tracking consent rule, click Add domain.
- Enter the domain or subdomain.
NOTE: Tracking consent applies to all pages belonging to a domain. You cannot set individual tracking to certain pages or folders.
NOTE: Tracking consent treats domains and subdomains separately – you can turn off tracking for a domain and turn on tracking for a subdomain of this domain.
- Select whether you want to Ask users for consent to track their activities.
EXAMPLE: If you have Tracking consent enabled for all domains, you can turn it off for a particular one, or vice versa.
For more information, see Priority of Tracking consent rules.
- Save your changes.
