GDPR Standard implementation guide (web)

Sourcepoint offers messaging capabilities for multiple regulatory and non-regulatory frameworks. These messages are surfaced to your end-users in accordance with the campaigns (and scenarios) that you enable for the property. 

In this article, we will walk you through the essential steps to launch your GDPR Standard messaging campaign on your web property. 

• Overview
• Portal configuration
• Install GDPR Standard Sourcepoint code on property
• Install resurface privacy manager code on property
• GDPR Standard API
• Launch campaign

Overview

Portal configuration

Use the table below to track the necessary configurations that need to be performed within the Sourcepoint portal before adding the required code onto the property and launching your GDPR Standard campaign. 

Install GDPR Standard Sourcepoint code on property

When you have completed the portal configuration for your property, click Properties on the left-hand panel and select Properties from the subsequent menu. 

Click <> inline with the property name.

Use the dropdown menu to select GDPR Compliance and enable the checkbox for GDPR Standard. 

The implementation code snippet will automatically populate in the provided space. Click Copy Code and add the implementation code snippet to your property. 

The Sourcepoint GDPR Standard implementation code snippet is comprised of two scripts. Review the sections below for additional information and possible configuration options to suit your organization's use cases.   

• Client configuration script
• URL to messaging library

<script>
    window._sp_queue = [];
    window._sp_ = {
        config: {
            accountId: 1234,
            baseEndpoint: 'https://cdn.privacy-mgmt.com',
            gdpr: { 
                includeTcfApi: false 
            },
            events: {
                onMessageChoiceSelect: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onMessageChoiceSelect', arguments);
                },
                onMessageReady: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onMessageReady', arguments);
                },
                onMessageChoiceError: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onMessageChoiceError', arguments);
                },
                onPrivacyManagerAction: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onPrivacyManagerAction', arguments);
                },
                onPMCancel: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onPMCancel', arguments);
                },
                onMessageReceiveData: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onMessageReceiveData', arguments);
                },
                onSPPMObjectReady: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onSPPMObjectReady', arguments);
                },
                onConsentReady: function (consentUUID, euconsent) {
                    console.log('[event] onConsentReady', arguments);
                },
                onError: function() {
                    console.log('[event] onError', arguments);
                },
            }
        }
    }
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.privacy-mgmt.com/unified/wrapperMessagingWithoutDetection.js" async></script>   

Client configuration script

The client configuration script contains your organization's specific account configuration parameters. This configuration includes the necessary and optional parameters for your property to communicate with the Sourcepoint messaging platform and consent service libraries.

Currently, there are three required parameters to successfully deliver an end-user notification:

In addition to the required parameters (above), your organization can further implement additional parameters and customizations in the code snippet for different use cases. Follow the resources below for additional information

• Configure subdomain with CNAME
• Optional client configuration parameters
• Optional event callback 

<script>
window._sp_queue = [];
window._sp_ = {
    config: {
            accountId: 1584,
            baseEndpoint: 'https://cdn.privacy-mgmt.com',
            gdpr: { 
                includeTcfApi: false 
            }
}
</script>

URL to messaging library

The final script is a URL that points to Sourcepoint's messaging libraries. The default URL is as follows:

In the developer console, the URL to the messaging library can return the following regardless of whether a message was shown to the user:

Install resurface privacy manager code on property

Many organizations will want to add a button/link onto their web property that allows an end-user to resurface the privacy manager so they can manager their consent preferences on an ongoing basis. 

Most organizations who implement the JavaScript code on their page will attach the function to the onclick event of a page element. Click here for more information on how to retrieve the privacy manager ID and implement the JavaScript code. 

GDPR Standard API

In addition to the GDPR Standard Sourcepoint code that is added to your property, your organization can leverage Sourcepoint designed APIs to further customize and test your implementation. Information on these commands be found in our developer hub:

GDPR Standard API

Launch campaign

With the property configured in the portal and Sourcepoint's implementation code snippet added to the web property, your organization can now launch a GDPR Standard campaign on the property and test the end-user flow.
