Matomo Tracking-Code

[mjegulla]

Does it work with Matomo Tracking code?
Thank you

Hi @mjegulla,

yes, but you need to configure the tracking code appropriately. Check out matomo's docs.

Here is one way you could implement it:

1. Place matomo's the tracking code into your pages (added _paq.push(['requireConsent'])):

   <!-- Matomo -->
   <script type="text/javascript">
       var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
       // require user tracking consent before processing data
       _paq.push(['requireConsent']);
       _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
       _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
       (function() {
           var u="//{$MATOMO_URL}/";
           _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
           _paq.push(['setSiteId', {$IDSITE}]);
           var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
           g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
       })();
   </script>

2. Configure the plugin (cookieconsent-init.js)

   const cc = initCookieConsent();
   
   cc.run({
       // your config options ...
   
       onAccept: function(){
           if(cc.allowedCategory('analytics')){
               _paq.push(['setConsentGiven']);
           }
       },
       
       onChange: function(){
           if(cc.allowedCategory('analytics') === false){
               _paq.push(['forgetConsentGiven']);
           }
       },
   
       // more config options ...
   });

You'll need to define the 'analytics' category inside the plugin for this to work. Also note that the above code will fully disable matomo's tracking (and not just cookies) if the user doesn't accept the analytics category.

Wow, thanks a lot for your fast reply and help.
I managed to come half way through.
To define the 'analytics' category inside the plugin is probably out of my capacity 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[orestbida]

A category is defined whenever you see a toggle object.

E.g. the toggle object in the demo example below, is what defines the analytics category.

cookieconsent/demo/demo_gtm/cookieconsent-init.js

Lines 97 to 103 in 8a5fd66

	title: 'Analytics & Performance cookies',
	description: LOREM_IPSUM,
	toggle: {
	value: 'analytics',
	enabled: false,
	readonly: false
	},
