AddThis: social media and consent

AddThis belongs to the social media service category. Social buttons, widgets and features may load resources from third-party domains and transmit information to the provider.

tarteaucitron can delay the activation of AddThis until the visitor has made a choice when the service requires consent.

Managing AddThis with tarteaucitron

When AddThis is integrated through tarteaucitron, its activation is managed according to the visitor's consent choice. The service can therefore be loaded only when the corresponding permission has been granted and the visitor can later change this choice through the consent interface.

The current tarteaucitron integration declares 2 cookies associated with AddThis:

  • __atuvc
  • __atuvs

This list corresponds to the cookies currently declared in the tarteaucitron service definition. The service provider may change its technical implementation over time.
