Compatibility Mode
consentmanager supports the Compatibility Mode in order to make it easier to switch from a different CMP provider to us. Currently we support Compatibility Mode for:
What does the Compatibility Mode do?
The Compatibility Mode will help you switching codes in your website while lowering the effort to move from one of the other CMPs to us. This includes 4 major topics:
- consentmanager can work with the blocking logic / codes of the other CMPs and automatically block/unblock. No change of codes is necessary when you switch to us.
- consentmanager can work with the same dataLayer logic as the other CMPs and send the same dataLayer events. No change of triggers in your Google Tag Manager (GTM) is necessary when you switch to us.
- consentmanager can mimic the same JavaScript APIs as the other CMPs and "wrap" them into own logic. No change of JS codes is necessary when you switch to us.
- consentmanager can import existing consent cookies from users that accepted/rejected when the other CMP was still present on the website. No need to ask the visitor again.
Setup
In order to setup the Compatibility Mode please follow these steps:
- Go to Menu > CMPs > Integrations > Compatibility Mode and choose the CMP provider to which the system should be compatible
- Go to Menu > CMPs > Purposes and edit your purposes. For each purpose you should insert the corresponding compatibility ID
- If you are switching from OneTrust, you will insert the Optanon Category IDs, e.g. "C0003"
- If you switch from Cookiebot, you will insert the Cookiebot category names, e.g. "statistics"
- If you switch from Usercentrics, you will insert the UC category names, e.g. "statistics"
- If you switch from Didomi, you will insert the Didomi purpose IDs, e.g. "nab28dan"
- For some CMP providers you will also need to insert the Compatibility ID into Menu > CMPs > Vendors
- If you are switching from Usercentrics, you will insert the Usercentrics service IDs, e.g. "jgafvzur128"
- If you are switching from Didomi, you will insert the Didomi vendor names, e.g. "google" or "cloudflare-jdq3LAMt"
- Remove the CMP code of the other provider from your website and insert the consentmanager CMP code.
