Plausible and GDPR: how to manage consent

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

Managing Plausible with tarteaucitron

When Plausible 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 Plausible

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

Configuring Plausible

tarteaucitron.user.plausibleDomain = 'plausibleDomain';

Frequently asked questions about Plausible

Does Plausible require consent?

It depends on how Plausible 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 Plausible?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of Plausible 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.
