Cookie Consent Management

Online Actions forms and pages can be integrated with third-party cookie consent management tools enabled by JavaScript plug-ins for compliance with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA. This allows supporters to opt in to or reject non-necessary cookies whether they visit your website or an Online Actions form first.

Integration Steps

  1. Install and configure your preferred cookie consent manager on your website.
  2. Go to Online Actions Settings and choose one of the following for cookie consent management:
  • Enable on Themes - This will allow you to enter cookie control code directly in an Online Actions theme to use with any form or page. For added flexibility, create a Reusable to add the code to more than one theme.
  • Enable on Embedded Forms or Pages - This will allow you to control cookies on embedded NGP VAN forms and pages after adding the code to your own website.
  • Enable All - This will allow you to control cookies on themes or forms and pages.
  1. After you've added the cookie consent management code to either your website or a theme, check the cookie consent option on either the theme or form. This prevents the form from immediately loading all cookies, allowing the cookie consent manager to take control and enact the user's preferences.
