Integrations

• PSI (Privacy Settings Introducer)
• SCC (Schibsted Cookie Consent)
• TCF (Transparency & Consent Framework)

Config

Configuration for your implementation can be found in the CMP_Configuration_setup.

Required parameters	Description
propertyId: number	Maps the message to a specific property (website, app, OTT) as set up in the Sourcepoint account dashboard.
consentLanguage: string	Consent message language. Available: en, no, sv, fi, dk.
baseEndpoint: string	A single server endpoint that serves the messaging experience.
groupPmId: number	SCC and TCF only. Allows to use the Privacy Manager ID.

Optional parameters	Description
accountId: number	Used to override organization's Sourcepoint account. Default value:1047
propertyHref: string	Used to display a message from one property, e.g. production url, on another domain, e.g. staging/test site.

userId: number	The Schibsted account user identifier for the logged in user. E.g. 123456, not full SDRN. Send only if user is logged in. More info below.
realm: string	The Schibsted account realm of the logged in user. E.g. schibsted.com, spid.no, schibsted.fi. More info below.
clientId: string	Provide in order to redirect user to Privacy Settings page with client_id parameter. It's a unique identifier generated for an individual service client.
pulseTracker: object	Pulse Event Tracker object. More details here. Only in the client-side integration.
referrer: string	Used to allow users to return to the exact page from Privacy Settings UI. Its default value is the current URL.
state: string	It should be a base64-encoded string. Enables passing any query parameters as a part of a specific redirect URL. More details in Privacy Settings docs.

groupId: string	Extension of the enableUserCentric parameter: to handle more specific cases. Provide if consent shouldn't be tied to the merchant level.
disableNativeConsentCheck: boolean	Disable blocking of CMP snippet on webviews that don't provide _sp_pass_consent parameter in URL

Installation

Install package from NPM using command:

// npm
npm install @schibsted/sourcepoint

// yarn
yarn add @schibsted/sourcepoint

Privacy Settings Introducer (PSI)

The PSI is used to identify Schibsted as the data controller and alert users about choices available to them in Privacy Settings, along with a link to get there.

Browser integration

import { psi } from '@schibsted/sourcepoint';
psi(window, document, navigator, {
    baseEndpoint: 'https://cmp.YOUR_DOMAIN/', // required
    propertyId: 1234, // required
    consentLanguage: 'sv', // required
    userId: 123456,
    realm: 'spid.no',
});

NodeJS integration

const { psi } = require('@schibsted/sourcepoint');
const snippet = psi({
    baseEndpoint: 'https://cmp.YOUR_DOMAIN/', // required
    propertyId: 1234, // required
    consentLanguage: 'sv', // required
    userId: 123456,
    realm: 'spid.no',
});

// Now you can add the snippet to the page:
// index.js
//   app.get('/', (req, res) => res.render('page', { snippet }));
// page.hbs
//   <html><head>{{snippet}}</hread><body>...</body></html>

Note: Both SCC and TCF integrations include support for PSI. This means that if you call scc or tcf snippet, don't call psi as part of the same integration.

PSI for logged in users only

If you are using the TCF integration, PSI will most likely only be visible to logged in users. There are 2 ways to achieve this:

• Provide userId to the initial config. The user state must be provided with the initialisation of the tcf snippet, so you'll have to delay the initialisation of the snippet until there is a response from the Schibsted Account SDK.

• Use the Brand Level Consent feature. With this feature we can retrieve and set the userId ourselves.

Schibsted Cookie Consent (SCC)

Privacy Settings Introducer (PSI) is a part of Schibsted Cookie Consent integration. If your site is already integrated with PSI you need to remove existing integration (or do required changes).

Step 1: Add Sourcepoint Client Configuration Code Snippet

Browser integration

import { scc } from '@schibsted/sourcepoint';
scc(window, document, navigator, {
    baseEndpoint: 'https://cmp.YOUR_DOMAIN/', // required
    propertyId: 1234, // required
    consentLanguage: 'sv', // required
    groupPmId: 1234, // required
    userId: 123456,
    realm: 'spid.no',
});

NodeJS integration

const { scc } = require('@schibsted/sourcepoint');
const snippet = scc({
    baseEndpoint: 'https://cmp.YOUR_DOMAIN/', // required
    propertyId: 1234, // required
    consentLanguage: 'sv', // required
    groupPmId: 1234, // required
    userId: 123456,
    realm: 'spid.no',
});

// Now you can add the snippet to the page:
// index.js
//   app.get('/', (req, res) => res.render('page', { snippet }));
// page.hbs
//   <html><head>{{snippet}}</hread><body>...</body></html>

Step 2: SCC integration with the site

In step 1 you have added required code to present user SCC and ask him about consents.

In second step you need to integrate your site with SCC Library to honour user choices.

Cookies (scripts) could belong to one of these categories:

• Essential - Necessary cookies which could be set always, without asking user about the consent (this category is not supported by the library because consent is not required).
• CMP:advertising - Advertising related Cookies - user consent is required.
• CMP:analytics - Analytics and Product Development related cookies - user consent is required.
• CMP:marketing - Marketing related Cookies - user consent is required.
• CMP:personalisation - Personalisation related Cookies - user consent is required.

Your site could run script only when consent was given by user.

To receive information about user choices you can use one of two provided methods:

• getPermission - allows getting information about consent once (asynchronous)
• getPermissionSync - allows getting information about consent (synchronous)
• subscribe - allows getting information about the concent and be notified about future changes

Library inform your site about one of two states (PermissionValue):

• "1" - cookies could be set / script could be run - user gave consent
• "0" - cookies could NOT be set / script could NOT be run - user hasn't given consent
• null - user hasn't made a decision yet (returned only by synchronous function)

Returned values are cached in LocalStorage to speed up integration.

Allow reopening Privacy Manager

To allow users change their choices each page should contain a link to re trigger Schibsted Cookie Consent.

Function: window._scc_.showPrivacyManager() allows reopening Privacy Manager.

Schibsted Cookie Consent Interface

getPermission

Function window._scc_.getPermission allows getting information about consent once:

window._scc_.getPermission(category: Categories, callback: (value: PermissionValue) => {})

Categories:

• CMP:advertising - Advertising related Cookies
• CMP:analytics - Analytics and Product Development related cookies
• CMP:marketing - Marketing related Cookies
• CMP:personalisation - Personalisation related Cookies

PermissionValue:

• "1" - cookies could be set
• "0" - cookies could NOT be set

getPermissionSync

Function window._scc_.getPermissionSync allows getting information about consent once, synchronously:

window._scc_.getPermissionSync(category: Categories)

Categories:

• CMP:advertising - Advertising related Cookies
• CMP:analytics - Analytics and Product Development related cookies
• CMP:marketing - Marketing related Cookies
• CMP:personalisation - Personalisation related Cookies

PermissionValue:

• "1" - cookies could be set
• "0" - cookies could NOT be set
• null - user hasn't made a decision yet

subscribe

Function window._scc_.subscribe allows getting information about the concent and be notified about future changes.

const unsubscribeFn = window._scc_.subscribe(category: Categories, callback: (value: PermissionValue) => {}): () => void

Categories:

• CMP:advertising - Advertising related Cookies
• CMP:analytics - Analytics and Product Development related cookies
• CMP:marketing - Marketing related Cookies
• CMP:personalisation - Personalisation related Cookies

PermissionValue:

• "1" - cookies could be set
• "0" - cookies could NOT be set

Returned value is a function which allow unsubscribing from notification about changes.

showPrivacyManager

Function window._scc_.showPrivacyManager allows reopening Privacy Manager - thanks to that user could change settings.

window._scc_.showPrivacyManager();

This function require parameter groupPmId in the config to work properly.

Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF)

Privacy Settings Introducer (PSI) is a part of TCF integration. If your site is already integrated with PSI you need to remove existing integration (or perform the required changes).

Step 1: Add Sourcepoint Client Configuration Code Snippet

Browser integration

import { tcf } from '@schibsted/sourcepoint';
tcf(window, document, navigator, {
    baseEndpoint: 'https://cmp.YOUR_DOMAIN/', // required
    propertyId: 1234, // required
    consentLanguage: 'sv', // required
    groupPmId: 1234, // required
});

NodeJS integration

const { tcf } = require('@schibsted/sourcepoint');
const snippet = tcf({
    baseEndpoint: 'https://cmp.YOUR_DOMAIN/', // required
    propertyId: 1234, // required
    consentLanguage: 'sv', // required
    groupPmId: 1234, // required
});

// Now you can add the snippet to the page:
// index.js
//   app.get('/', (req, res) => res.render('page', { snippet }));
// page.hbs
//   <html><head>{{snippet}}</hread><body>...</body></html>

Step 2: TCF integration with the site

In step 1 you have added required code to present user TCF and ask him about consents.

In second step you need to integrate your site with TCF Library to honour user choices.

Cookies (scripts) could belong to one of these categories:

• Essential - Necessary cookies which could be set always, without asking user about the consent (this category is not supported by the library because consent is note required).
• CMP:advertising - Advertising related Cookies - user consent is required.
• CMP:analytics - Analytics and Product Development related cookies - user consent is required.
• CMP:marketing - Marketing related Cookies - user consent is required.
• CMP:personalisation - Personalisation related Cookies - user consent is required.
• CMP:performance_marketing - Only used where there is a waiver from Privacy Legal to run marketing campaigns on third party platforms, and where consent for CMP:marketing does not apply.

Your site could run script only when consent was given by user.

To receive information about user choices you can use one of two provided methods:

• getPermission - allows getting information about consent once (asynchronous)
• getPermissionSync - allows getting information about consent (synchronous)
• subscribe - allows getting information about the concent and be notified about future changes

Library inform your site about one of two states (PermissionValue):

• "1" - cookies could be set / script could be run - user gave consent
• "0" - cookies could NOT be set / script could NOT be run - user hasn't given consent
• null - user hasn't made a decision yet (returned only by synchronous function)

Returned values are cached in LocalStorage to speed up integration.

Step 3: Allow reopening Privacy Manager

To allow users to change their choices, each page should contain a link to re-trigger TCF.

Function: window._tcf_.showPrivacyManager allows reopening Privacy Manager.

Methods

• CMP:marketing - Marketing related Cookies
• CMP:personalisation - Personalisation related Cookies
• CMP:performance_marketing - Marketing campaigns on third party platforms related Cookies

PermissionValue:

• "1" - cookies could be set
• "0" - cookies could NOT be set

getPermissionSync

Function window._tcf_.getPermissionSync allows getting information about consent once, synchronously:

window._tcf_.getPermissionSync(category: Categories)

Categories:

Function window._tcf_.showPrivacyManager allows reopening Privacy Manager - thanks to that user could change settings.

window._tcf_.showPrivacyManager();

This function require parameter groupPmId in the config to work properly.

isConsentedToAll

Function window._tcf_.isConsentedToAll allows getting information about whether user consented to all purposes and be notified about future changes.

window._tcf_.isConsentedToAll(callback: (value: boolean) => {}): () => void

getConsentedToAllSync

window._tcf_.getConsentedToAllSync()

Function returns boolean | null.

Core features

Pulse SDK integration

PSI, SCC and TCF are integrated with Pulse and we ask you to allow us to collect user and device data.

If you use the Pulse SDK, please add a tracker object to the config or assign it to the window. With the Autotracker, you will have a global pulse method which is not available when following the SDK way.

Minimum Pulse version required:

• SDK: 5.0.0
• Autotracker: 2.0.0

Browser integration

Provide pulseTracker to the config:

pulseTracker: new Tracker('{CLIENT-ID}', {}, {})

In the case of SCC and TCF integrations, it is required to provide a consents object to the initial Pulse config. You can use the method getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse for that purpose.

• If you use SDK integration

TCF

const consents = window._tcf_.getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse();
const tracker = new Tracker('{CLIENT-ID}', {
    consents,
    requireAdvertisingOptIn: true
});
window.pulse = (callback) => callback(tracker);

SCC

const consents = window._scc_.getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse();
const tracker = new Tracker('{CLIENT-ID}', {
    consents,
    requireAdvertisingOptIn: true
});
window.pulse = (callback) => callback(tracker);

• If you use Autotracker integration

TCF

const consents = window._tcf_.getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse();
pulse('init', 'CLIENT-ID', {
    consents,
    requireAdvertisingOptIn: true
});

SCC

const consents = window._scc_.getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse();
pulse('init', 'CLIENT-ID', {
    consents,
    requireAdvertisingOptIn: true
});

Server integrations

Assign Pulse tracker to the global window object:

window.pulse = (callback) => callback(pulseTracker)

*If you want to assign Pulse to any other variable - you can but you have to also provide pulseObjectName to the config.

window.whatever = (callback) => callback(pulseTracker)
psi(window, document, navigator, {
    pulseObjectName: 'whatever'
});

getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse

Function window._scc_.getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse(arg?) returns updated consents object for Pulse purposes. It accepts a default object in the shape of ConsentsInput as its only parameter.

TCF

const consents = window._tcf_.getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse();
const tracker = new Tracker('{CLIENT-ID}', {
    consents,
    requireAdvertisingOptIn: true
});

SCC

const consents = window._scc_.getCachedOrDefaultConsentsForPulse();
const tracker = new Tracker('{CLIENT-ID}', {
    consents,
    requireAdvertisingOptIn: true
});

Examples below are also applicable in TCF integration. All you need to do is to call tcf instead of scc.

Brand Level Consent

Authenticated consent allows to share an end-user's consent preferences across their different authenticated (logged-in) devices. It can be applied to all properties within a brand, reducing the number of times users have to go through the popup flow. This feature is currently only available to logged in users.

Requirements

• Schibsted Account integration (see below) identity object should be assigned as a global variable (e.g.window.Identity).
• The enableUserCentric configuration variable must be set to true.

Note: tcf snippet in this case is async.

import { tcf } from '@schibsted/sourcepoint';
tcf(window, document, navigator, {
    baseEndpoint: 'https://cmp.YOUR_DOMAIN/',
    propertyId: 1234,
    consentLanguage: 'sv',
    groupPmId: 1234,
    enableUserCentric: true
}).then(() => {
    // content goes here
});

authId is used as the consent identifier and can be found at window._sp_.config.authId.

Server-side integrations

Snippet can be attached like this:

const sourcepointSnippet = sourcepoint.tcf(sourcepointConfig, false);
<script>document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => { ${sourcepointSnippet} })</script>

then to handle any action after the setup is completed:

window._tcf_?.onTcfReady(() => {
  console.log('TCF ready')
});

Schibsted Account integration

In order to trigger a login flow, the SDK needs access to Schibsted Account methods. That's why in some cases we ask you to provide us with an Identity object.

The easiest way is to assign to the window:

import { Identity } from '@schibsted/account-sdk-browser';
const identity = new Identity({ ... });

window.Identity = identity;

This method will work without any additional setup because that's the default solution.

If you've already assigned Identity object but to the different variable, you can help us navigate it by adding it to the config:

import { Identity } from '@schibsted/account-sdk-browser';
const identity = new Identity({ ... });
window.SPiD_Identity = identity;

import { tcf } from '@schibsted/sourcepoint';
tcf(window, document, navigator, {
    identityObjectName: 'SPiD_Identity'
});

You can also pass the Identity object directly to the config:

import { Identity } from '@schibsted/account-sdk-browser';
const identity = new Identity({ ... });

tcf(window, document, navigator, {
    identityObject: identity
});

Excluding PSI

Many mobile apps are using WebView to display web pages. By default, the snippet detects a mobile application based on the User Agent and passes this information to Sourcepoint using the window._sp_.config.targetingParams['mobile-webview'] = true attribute. The logic responsible for exclusion needs to be defined in Sourcepoint.

Devices with containing one of the string listed below are detected as mobile:

• Hermes
• _app_
• tv.nu
• FinnApp

Contact us if you want to add your app detection.

Important: You can override it by providing showInWebview to config.

Referrer

For some brands, PSI should not be displayed when a user is navigating between their sites, with different root domains, i.e. when a user is going from VG to Godt.

To help exclude such traffic information about hostname from document.referrer is passed to Sourcepoint using window._sp_.config.targetingParams['referrer-hostname'] = 'www.vg.no which allow using String Match condition in Scenario.

Cookies

To limit number of views for brands with multiple domains support we can use additional information stored in cookies.

Example:

For document.cookie=_sch_cmp_displayed=true key-value pair will be passed: _sch_cmp_displayed=true allowing usage of String Match condition in Scenario.

Cookie could be set using custom Javascript action for button.

Examples

You can find example PSI and SCC implementation in the folder: example.

To run it you need to clone repository and run command:

npm start

Example runs on http://localhost:10001.

You can also find examples of ESI inclusion, as well as JS tag integration in these examples.

Just visit http://localhost:10001/esi.html and http://localhost:10001/js-tag.html respectively.

For Privacy Developers

How to publish package

Package is distributed by NPMJS.com

To publish the package you need to:

• change version in package.json file
• create a tag from branch master

Code will be published by Travis CI.

How it works

NodeJS version uses generated static scripts during publishing by rollup (script: npm run build) - files are stored in directory: dist/.

Thanks to that code is converted to beeing compatible with old browsers, merged into one file per integration (PSI, SCC).

For debug purpose you can build files without minimization using script: npm run build:debug,

NPM Version

NPM Version used by Travis CI is defined in file .nvmrc.

This way allow you to switch to propre NodeJS version locally in an easy way too.

Running code shown below the proper NodeJS version will be used / installed.

nvm use

PSI Methods:

Opening Privacy Settings

Method openPrivacySettings allows redirecting users to Privacy Settings. It enables also handling the user authentication state (being logged in or out). For non-logged-in users, there's environment_id provided as a URL parameter which means the login flow isn't triggered on the Privacy Settings page. This method also uses client_id as a query parameter in order to display brand-specific settings and UI elements.

window.psi.openPrivacySettings(string);

Example:

window.psi.openPrivacySettings('https://privacysettings.schibsted.no/');

Note: This method relies on an existing Pulse integration. It means a page needs to be integrated with Pulse in order to use this method.

Pulse configuration

Events that flow into the Pulse platform via the collector needs to be routed to a destination, also called sink. Sinks collecting data from @schibsted/sourcepoint and sending them to Amplitude are calling CMP-Amplitude-1. They can be found in two files:

• yggdrasil-sinks-schibsted-pro.yaml
• yggdrasil-sinks-schibsted-pre.yaml

Mapping Pulse data to Amplitude schema is also set in routing repo in amplitude-cmp.jstl2 file.

Pulse events

PSI is integrated with Pulse. Events are sent to your provided used by the page (using default Pulse object available on the page). You can analyse events on your own. All PSI related events are tagged using the property: provider.component = "CMP"

Privacy Services team sends events from all providers to their own project in Amplitude too.

PSI sends 2 types of events:

• View - CMP: @type: "View", object.@type: "CMP"
  Triggered when PSI or SCC is about to display to a user.
• Engagement - CMP: @type: "Engagement", object.@type: "CMP"
  Triggered on user action. Actions can be distinguished in Amplitude by object.name.
  Supported PSI actions:
  • click on "Okay" button
  • click on "To my saved preferences" button
  • click on "visit out Privacy pages" link
    Supported SCC actions:
  • click on "Accept all cookies" button
  • click on "Confirm selection" button
  • click on "Personal data and cookie policy" link

Schema / documentation of object.@type set to "CMP" can be found in event-formats repo.

Sourcepoint events

Documentation of Sourcepoint events can be found here.

However, working on this project we collected additional information which can be useful in development.

About onMessageReceiveData event:

• It is a normal behaviour that this event listener fires on every pageview.
• If the messageId in callback data is different from 0, it means that the message was displayed to the user.
• Event callback is not returning the cmpgn_id (listed in documentation), because the messageId is changing from campaign to campaign. It seems that this variable was removed from the data sent to the callback since the messageId is already telling you which campaign it is.

About onMessageReady event:

• This event fires/triggers just before the CMP message is shown to the user. Few of Sourcepoint clients decided that they want to trigger a Privacy manager as a first layer message. Therefore, they selected in their scenario in the “Show message” event the Privacy manager layer instead of the first layer message. They use the Privacy manager as a first layer message, because they want to disclose to the user from the beginning the whole vendor list, toggles, etc.
• According to Sourcepoint team it is the best event to detect when a message is showing up to user.

Debugging

Debug messages are displayed after passing the sp_debug=1 query param.

To log out debug information, you can use the debug function from src\utils.js.

External documentation

There are external spreadsheets with useful documentation. Kind request to update it regularly :)

• Spreadsheet with PSI events details and mapping to Amplitude data
