Disqus: cookies and consent management

Disqus is a third-party service that can be integrated into a website. Activating it may involve data exchanges with the provider or browser-side storage mechanisms.

When Disqus requires visitor consent, tarteaucitron can condition its activation on the choice made through the consent interface.

Managing Disqus with tarteaucitron

When Disqus 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.

Cookies and storage used by Disqus

No cookie name is currently declared in the tarteaucitron integration for Disqus. This does not necessarily mean that the service processes no data or uses no other browser storage mechanism.

Configuring Disqus

Add the following code to your website after initializing tarteaucitron. Replace the example values with those provided by Disqus.

<script>
tarteaucitron.user.disqusShortname = 'disqus_shortname';
(tarteaucitron.job = tarteaucitron.job || []).push('disqus');
</script>

Additional code

The following code can already be present on your website and should be kept where the service is used.

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>

Code to remove

Default HTML code to remove from your website:

<script type="text/javascript"> var disqus_shortname = 'disqus_shortname'; /* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */ (function() { var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true; dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js'; (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq); })(); </script>

For a complete guide, read the documentation to install tarteaucitron.js.

Frequently asked questions about Disqus

Does Disqus require consent?

Whether Disqus requires consent depends on the data processed, tracking technologies used and the purpose of the service.

How does tarteaucitron block Disqus?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of Disqus according to the consent choice recorded for the visitor. The service code is triggered through tarteaucitron instead of being loaded independently from the consent manager.
