How It Works
Automatic Detection
RB2B identifies the presence of the CookieYes script in your website’s code. Once detected, RB2B continuously monitors for consent cookies set by CookieYes.Consent Verification:
The RB2B tracking script checks for the visitor's consent status every 600 milliseconds until a consent cookie is set.
Tracking only begins when a valid consent cookie has been established, ensuring that user identification and data processing occur only after explicit consent.
Assumption of Active Subscription:
If the CookieYes script is present, RB2B assumes that your CookieYes subscription is active and functioning. It relies on the consent cookies set by CookieYes to determine whether tracking can proceed.
Important Note
If you no longer use CookieYes, it is essential to remove the CookieYes script from your website's code. Failure to do so will cause RB2B to continue checking for consent cookies, assuming the CookieYes integration is active. This may interfere with tracking processes and lead to unintended behavior. Additionally, if the CookieYes script is present on your website but is not actively generating consent cookies (for instance, if it has been muted or commented out), RB2B will fail to record data accurately. It is necessary to either activate the consent script or completely remove it to ensure proper functionality.
Benefits
Compliance with Privacy Regulations
Ensures compliance with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA by only initiating user tracking after explicit consent is given.
Enhanced User Trust
Transparently manages user consent and respects privacy preferences, building trust and potentially increasing visitor engagement and loyalty.
Simplified Implementation
CookieYes provides an easy-to-use interface for setting up and managing cookie consent banners, simplifying the process of linking RB2B’s tracking script to user consent without requiring extensive technical knowledge.
Avoiding Legal Issues
Helps your website adhere to legal requirements for cookie usage, preventing fines and legal complications associated with non-compliance.
Troubleshooting & Validation
How to Validate Script Status
To confirm that the RB2B tracking script is functioning as intended:
Check the script's status to ensure it is listed as "enabled."
Validate that the script records data upon user consent being given.
Best Practices for Maintaining Script Health
Regularly verify the configurations of all third-party tools integrated with RB2B.
After website updates, test the functionality of your consent mechanisms and ensure there are no disruptions affecting RB2B tracking.
Periodically review and update your documentation and compliance practices to stay aligned with privacy regulations.
FAQs
Does RB2B work in conjunction with cookie banners other than CookieYes?
Does RB2B work in conjunction with cookie banners other than CookieYes?
RB2B is specifically designed to automatically work only with CookieYes Cookie Consent. If you use a different cookie banner service or a custom cookie banner, RB2B will not automatically integrate with it. In such cases, you will need to manually configure your cookie banner service to control the functioning of RB2B based on user consent. This typically involves customizing your cookie consent settings to ensure that RB2B's tracking script is activated only after users have agreed to the use of cookies.
How does CookieYes integration work with RB2B?
How does CookieYes integration work with RB2B?
For accounts created on or after May 24, 2024, RB2B automatically detects and integrates with CookieYes Cookie Consent on your website. This means that RB2B's tracking script will only activate after a visitor has accepted the CookieYes cookie consent banner. No additional setup is required for this integration if you are using CookieYes.
Will integrating CookieYes affect my data collection rates with RB2B?
Will integrating CookieYes affect my data collection rates with RB2B?
Tying the functionality of RB2B to the acceptance of a cookie policy can impact collection rates. Since the RB2B tracking script only activates after a user accepts the CookieYes consent banner, visitors who do not accept cookies will not be tracked. This might lead to lower overall data collection rates, but it ensures compliance with privacy regulations and builds user trust.
