Intercom: support widgets and consent

Intercom is a support, chat or customer relationship service. Loading it may establish a connection with a third-party provider and, depending on its configuration, use tracking technologies or process user data.

tarteaucitron can control the activation of Intercom according to the visitor’s choice when its use requires consent.

Managing Intercom with tarteaucitron

When Intercom 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 Intercom

The current tarteaucitron integration declares 2 cookies associated with Intercom:

  • intercom-id-
  • intercom-session-

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

Configuring Intercom

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

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

Code to remove

Default HTML code to remove from your website:

<script>(function () { var w = window; var ic = w.Intercom; if (typeof ic === 'function') { ic('reattach_activator'); ic('update', w.intercomSettings); } else { var d = document; var i = function () { i.c(arguments); }; i.q = []; i.c = function (args) { i.q.push(args); }; w.Intercom = i; var l = function () { var s = d.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = 'https://widget.intercom.io/widget/intercomKey'; var x = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); }; if (w.attachEvent) { w.attachEvent('onload', l); } else { w.addEventListener('load', l, false); } } })();</script>

Frequently asked questions about Intercom

Does Intercom require consent?
