Firebase and GDPR: how to manage consent

Firebase is an audience measurement or analytics service. Depending on its configuration, its use may involve browser storage, tracking technologies or the transmission of data to a third-party provider.

When the configuration of Firebase requires consent, the service should only be activated after the visitor has made a choice. tarteaucitron can condition its loading on that decision.

Managing Firebase with tarteaucitron

When Firebase 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 Firebase

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

Configuring Firebase

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

<script>
tarteaucitron.user.firebaseApiKey = 'APIKEY';
(tarteaucitron.job = tarteaucitron.job || []).push('firebase');
</script>

Additional code

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

<script>tarteaucitron.user.firebaseAuthDomain = 'AUTHDOMAIN';tarteaucitron.user.firebaseDatabaseUrl = 'DATABASEURL';tarteaucitron.user.firebaseProjectId = 'PROJECTID';tarteaucitron.user.firebaseStorageBucket = 'STORAGEBUCKET';tarteaucitron.user.firebaseAppId = 'APPID';tarteaucitron.user.firebaseMeasurementId = 'MEASUREMENTID';</script>

Code to remove

Default HTML code to remove from your website:

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/8.6.2/firebase-app.js"></script> <script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/8.6.2/firebase-analytics.js"></script> <script> var firebaseConfig = { apiKey: "APIKEY", authDomain: "AUTHDOMAIN", databaseURL: "DATABASEURL", projectId: "PROJECTID", storageBucket: "STORAGEBUCKET", appId: "APPID", measurementId: "MEASUREMENTID", }; firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig); firebase.analytics(); </script>

Frequently asked questions about Firebase

Does Firebase require consent?

It depends on how Firebase is configured and which data is processed. Audience measurement tools using non-exempt tracking technologies generally need to be conditioned on the visitor’s consent.

How does tarteaucitron block Firebase?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of Firebase 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.
