      Custom Cookie Policy (Javascript) Tutorial

      Extend the cookie consent dialog with a custom policy from a third-party provider. Effectively manage cookie consent and analytics. This tutorial will show you how.

      💡Pro Tip: Scripts used in the <HEAD> section of a page should be added to the 'In page header' custom code fragment.

      Scripts used in the <BODY> section of a page should be added to the 'At start
      of page' custom code fragment. This custom code fragment should also be used for
      setting custom callback functions that should be triggered when a user accepts/rejects
      cookies and handle which scripts to be blocked on every page load after a user has set
      their cookie preference.

       

      👩‍🔬Prerequisite knowledge: To make the most of this tutorial it will help to be familiar with the Imagen Admin interface. It will also help to be comfortable copying/pasting javascript

      Enable Custom Cookie Policies

      Before we can add any custom cookie policies we must first enable custom Javascript in the Imagen admin interface. This will allow for third-party or custom code to be placed in each Imagen site to process your users' cookie consent. 

       

      We can now add scripts from your chosen cookie policy provider to the custom code fragments shown above. Take a look at the cookiebot Tutorial below for a walkthrough on how to configure your cookie policy.
