OneTrust integration

Custom connection between OneTrust & AB Tasty

Configuration in AB Tasty Platform

You can configure OneTrust consent management directly within the AB Tasty platform through the Settings > Privacy > Manage Visitor Consent section using the JavaScript option.

Accessing the Configuration

1. Navigate to Settings in your AB Tasty dashboard

2. Go to Privacy section

3. Select Manage Visitor Consent

4. Choose JavaScript option for custom consent implementation

OneTrust Group ID Checking

Legacy Implementation

For older OneTrust implementations:

javascriptUnwrapCopyreturn typeof window.OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
       window.OnetrustActiveGroups.includes('C0002') && 
       window.OnetrustActiveGroups.includes('C0003');

Current Implementation

For recent OneTrust implementations that return comma-delimited strings:

javascriptUnwrapCopy// Check for Analytics consent (group 2)
return typeof OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
       OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,');

// Check for Marketing consent (group 4)
return typeof OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
       OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',4,');

Using .includes(',2,') prevents false positives (e.g., matching group 12 when checking for group 2).

Platform Configuration Details

JavaScript Consent Function Setup

In the AB Tasty privacy settings, you'll need to configure a JavaScript function that returns true when consent is granted and false when it's not. This function will be called by AB Tasty to determine whether to:

• Activate campaigns

• Collect visitor data

• Set tracking cookies

Configuration Options

Single Consent Check

javascriptUnwrapCopy// Simple consent check for analytics
function() {
    return typeof OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
           OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,');
}

Multiple Consent Categories

javascriptUnwrapCopy// Check for both Analytics and Marketing consent
function() {
    return typeof OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
           OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,') && 
           OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',4,');
}

Flexible Consent (Analytics OR Marketing)

javascriptUnwrapCopy// Allow if either Analytics or Marketing consent is given
function() {
    if (typeof OnetrustActiveGroups === 'undefined') {
        return false;
    }
    return OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,') || 
           OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',4,');
}

Advanced Configuration Features

Consent Monitoring

The platform automatically monitors consent changes and will:

• Start campaigns when consent is granted

• Stop data collection when consent is withdrawn

• Resume tracking when consent is re-granted

Campaign Behavior Options

You can configure how campaigns behave based on consent status:

• Wait for Consent: Campaigns don't start until consent is given

• Show Without Tracking: Campaigns run but no data is collected until consent

• Conditional Activation: Different campaigns activate based on specific consent categories

Testing Your Configuration

In AB Tasty Platform

• Use the Preview Mode to test consent scenarios

• Check the Browser Console for consent-related logs

• Verify campaign activation in different consent states

Browser Testing

javascriptUnwrapCopy// Test consent status in browser console
console.log('OneTrust Groups:', OnetrustActiveGroups);
console.log('Analytics Consent:', OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,'));
console.log('Marketing Consent:', OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',4,'));

Common OneTrust Group Mappings

Group ID	Category	Description
,1,	Strictly Necessary	Essential website functionality
,2,	Performance/Analytics	Website analytics and performance
,3,	Functional	Enhanced website features
,4,	Targeting/Marketing	Advertising and marketing cookies

Best Practices for Platform Configuration

1. Start Simple

Begin with a basic consent check and gradually add complexity:

javascriptUnwrapCopy// Start with this
return typeof OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
       OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,');

2. Add Error Handling

javascriptUnwrapCopyfunction() {
    try {
        return typeof OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
               OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Consent check error:', error);
        return false; // Default to no consent on error
    }
}

3. Log for Debugging

javascriptUnwrapCopyfunction() {
    const hasConsent = typeof OnetrustActiveGroups !== 'undefined' && 
                      OnetrustActiveGroups.includes(',2,');
    
    console.log('AB Tasty Consent Check:', {
        groups: OnetrustActiveGroups,
        hasConsent: hasConsent
    });
    
    return hasConsent;
}

Validation and Monitoring

After configuration, monitor your setup through:

• AB Tasty Analytics Dashboard: Check visitor consent rates

• Campaign Performance: Verify campaigns activate correctly

• Browser Developer Tools: Monitor console logs for consent events

• OneTrust Reports: Cross-reference consent data

This configuration ensures your AB Tasty implementation respects user privacy preferences while maintaining optimal testing capabilities within GDPR compliance requirements.
