Cookie Consent Integration with Adobe Launch

If you use Adobe Launch to insert scripts or code that sets your cookies, you can configure the tool so that scripts are controlled by the consent preferences set by site visitors.

This makes deployment easier than using the standard helper methods described in Client-Side Cookie Management. However, there are some differences in behavior.

How it Works

Cookie Consent uses an Adobe Launch Data Element to pass information to Launch using a dedicated JavaScript variable. OneTrust adds a key named OnetrustActiveGroups with a value of a comma delimited string of the current active group IDs as selected by the visitor (or the default configuration).

This key is repopulated on every page load once the script is executed. For example, the data contained in the value might be ,C0002,C0003,C0004,.

To deploy the Cookie Banner script

If you use Adobe Launch to manage the scripts and tags on your website, you can also inject your banner script into the site.

  1. Select the property where you want to insert the the Cookie Banner.
  2. Click the Rules tab. The Rules screen appears.

  3. Click the Create New Rule button.
  4. Name the rule Cookie Banner.
  5. Add a new event to the rule.
  6. Configure the event as shown.

function OptanonWrapper() { }
</script>
  13. Click Save.


    Important:

    If your organization already has script blocking rules in place that reflect your cookie list, you can stop here.

    If your organization does not yet have script blocking rules in place, continue to the remaining steps.
