Cookie Policy Manager

The Cookie Policy Manager is designed to help you assure identification, auto categorisation, and export of the qualified-cookie list to generate your cookie policy page.

 

General overview

In a simple way you can associate purposes to unqualified trackers, manage a qualified tracker list and export it for use in building your Cookie Policy page.

The ultimate goal is to narrow down the number of unqualified trackers to 0.

In the Cookie Policy Manager you have 3 main parts :

Key indicators

This section provides indicators regarding the tracker on your website.

The first line displays information about your current environment following a scan,

the second line is a projected view of your future cookie policy indicators.

The main indicators (those of your current environment) are clickable. Each of them will give a specific view on the table below.

Informative text

For each main indicator, an informative text accompanies it to help you understand the information displayed or the actions you can take.

Table

The table allows you to have a first level of information about the trackers.

Key indicators details

Here you have detailed informations about each section

Active Trackers

This section displays all trackers that were detected on your website for the selected period.

Qualified Trackers

This section displays trackers that are already qualified

A qualified tracker is a tracker which has at least one purpose associated with it.

By default the system auto-qualifies trackers whose vendor is in the IAB TCF V2. It means that purposes declared by the vendor on the TCF will be used to qualify the tracker automatically.

Unqualified Trackers

This section displays trackers that are not qualified.

Only qualified trackers will appear in the Cookie Policy list.

To qualify a tracker you must associate it with a purpose.

Exempted trackers

This section displays trackers that are exempted from consent.

Projected Cookie Policy section

This section allows you to have a projected view of the state of your future cookie policy.

When you qualify a new tracker, the indicators change to give you the projected view once you have done the export.

Table

The table allows you to have detailed information on trackers

• check or warning if a tracker is in the cookie policy or not
• name of the tracker
• if it’s a 1st or 3rd party tracker
• its type (pixel, cookie…)
• if the tracker is exempted or not
• its lifetime
• the vendor that initiated the tracker
• the category of the vendor
• the country of the vendor

Filters

When you want to search for a specific tracker you can type its name on the search bar.

You can also use filters to be more precise in your search.

All the filters are cumulative and therefore multiple selection is possible.

How to modify purpose of tracker

A tracker whose vendor is in the IAB TCFV2 already has purposes associated. Depending on the declaration of the vendor in the TCF, a tracker can be associated with multiple purposes. For this case, if you know what is the only purpose for this tracker you can unselect those that are not needed.

How to search for a specific tracker

Click on the search bar

Type the tracker name

If the tracker is detected on your property it should be displayed on the table

If not, 2 cases

• 1- the tracker was not found during the crawling of your website
• 2- the tracker is considered as unknown, meaning we have detected the tracker activity without a vendor associated to it. (see Unknown tracker section for more details for this case)

Save & export

Once you have finished working on your tracker list, go to the main page and click on the Export the Cookie Policy project button.

It will automatically download 2 files

• a CSV file
• a JSON file

Specific case

Unknown tracker

It can happen that some trackers are not correctly associated with a vendor.

In this case, by clicking on the tracker name a pop-in appears with a suggestion of vendor that you can associate.

If nothing matches, you can either search in the Agnostik Library or send a request to the customer support.
