Instagram: social media and consent

Instagram 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 Instagram until the visitor has made a choice when the service requires consent.

Managing Instagram with tarteaucitron

When Instagram 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 Instagram

The current tarteaucitron integration declares 10 cookies associated with Instagram:

  • shbts
  • sessionid
  • csrftoken
  • rur
  • shbid
  • mid
  • ds_usr_id
  • ig_did
  • ig_cb
  • datr

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

Configuring Instagram

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

<script>
(tarteaucitron.job = tarteaucitron.job || []).push('instagram');
</script>

Additional code

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

<div class="instagram_post" data-postID="postID" data-width="width" data-height="height"></div>

Code to remove

Default HTML code to remove from your website:

<iframe src="//www.instagram.com/postID/embed" width="width" height="height" frameborder="0"></iframe>

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

Frequently asked questions about Instagram

Does Instagram require consent?

When Instagram loads third-party resources or uses non-essential tracking technologies, its activation should be managed according to the visitor’s consent choice.

How does tarteaucitron block Instagram?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of Instagram 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.
