Twitch: GDPR, cookies and installation

Twitch: video, cookies and consent

Twitch is used to display or embed video content. Loading an external player may establish a connection with the provider’s servers before the visitor starts the video.

With tarteaucitron, loading Twitch can be conditioned on the visitor’s choice instead of immediately activating the third-party service.

Managing Twitch with tarteaucitron

When Twitch 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 Twitch

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

Configuring Twitch

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

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

Additional code

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

<div class="twitch_player" data-videoID="video_id" data-width="width" data-height="height" data-parent="parent"></div>

Frequently asked questions about Twitch

Does Twitch require consent?

Whether Twitch requires consent depends on the data and tracking technologies used by the player. Embedded content using non-essential trackers should be conditioned on consent.

How does tarteaucitron block Twitch?

tarteaucitron controls the activation of Twitch 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.
