ENG Script-Anpassungen (Javascript)

The simplest way to prevent Javascript from executing without Consent is to make a small adjustment, whereby the browser no longer interprets the script as such:

In the scripts the type must be changed from type="text/javascript" to type="text/plain". If the type "text/javascript" is not explicitly specified in the script, because it can also be interpreted by the browser without being named, type="text/plain" must still be added.

Cookiebot can recognize these scripts with the help of an attribute to be defined and set the type from text/plain back to text/javascript if consent is given. For a correct assignment, therefore, a "data attribute" must also be added:

This data attribute is structured according to the principle data-cookieconsent="[cookie-category]", where "cookie-category" must correspond to one of the categories used in the Cookiebot. The Cookiebot works with the 3 categories of preferences, marketing and statistics. The associated values are as follows:

Note: A combination of categories can also be used. For example, data-cookieconsent="statistics, marketing"

Example:

An example using the Google Analytics script.We assign this to the category "Statistics".

Original:

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXX"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
 
  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X');
</script>

Adjusted:

The adjustments were necessary in line 1 and line 2.

<script type=”text/plain” data-cookieconsent="statistics" async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXX"></script>
<script type=”text/plain” data-cookieconsent="statistics">
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
 
  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X');
</script>
