Site tracking and GDPR

Ask a question
1

Hi, i was reading about making site tracking GDPR compliant… https://help.activecampaign.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000872064?_ga=2.131899275.505962255.1526276978-1276323879.1522142158

One question: where on the contacts card is consent to track their behavior visibly seen? And the date of consent given. For example if a person requests to see each and every information we have about them ( where will he be able to see that he DID/did not give his consent for site tracking and when?

I am also interested in hearing more information about this from ActiveCampaign.

The consent box needs to be manually created for a website. You will have to hard code it in your web pages so every time a user lands on your web page, it identifies the user and explicitly asks their permission for tracking their data.

You can see the details collected by AC site tracking at - https://help.activecampaign.com/hc/en-us/articles/221542267

If you are looking for a web development agency to setup a consent form and link it with AC tracking code such that AC site tracking code works based on user’s consent - AGREED |
DISAGREED, then contact us at - www.brihaspatitech.com

If one use several tools that require code added to a site then building a consent form for each one will be cray-cray… What are your thoughts on using a Cookie Consent Management tool?

This Google site shares some examples:

I agree, you don’t want more than one Cookie/Tracking/Blablabla popup asking for consent…

I think there must be a simple single solution that covers all. Like checkboxes for cookie categories + a checkbox for tracking. Plus a button Check all, And Agree an/or Deny all.

Since a lot of people use WordPress I think it’s a good idea to have one uniform WordPress plugin that does this all.

For example a slide up bar at the bottom. And when the visitor made a choice, this bar should disappear. And when they click some menu item, the bar must reappear,
so they can change their settings.

Hello there! I just wanted to jump in and add a few more insights!

When it comes to our site tracking feature, there are a few things we can update for the GDPR to obtain consent:

  1. Replace the site tracking code on your website
  2. Update the “Track by Default” setting in the site tracking code.
  3. Create a “Tracking Consent” notice
  4. Add a code snippet to your “Yes/Agree” button on the “Tracking Consent” notice.
  5. For detailed instructions, please visit our article: HERE.

Applying those suggestions will help you take advantage of the site tracking benefits while helping with your GDPR compliance efforts. To learn more about GDPR, please click HERE
