Manage the pages that will be monitored for tracking technologies by Consent Studio CMP
Ever since early 2024, we have introduced our own approach to sampling web pages to detect the tracking technologies that run on them.
By default, we typically only check a home page, combined with whatever additional instructions you may have for us.
Below, you will find instructions on how to determine which pages (apart from /) are worth monitoring. It's good to know that when you are subscribed to Consent Studio Professional, the scanner will automatically add additional pages on your behalf based on a sample taken of your sitemap, given that these pages contain newly discovered tracking technologies.
Further documentation about the scanning functionality of Consent Studio can be found here.
Before you start: which pages should I add to the must-scan list?
A rule of thumb is to add cornerstone pages that have an anomaly. For example, a page with a (YouTube) video, a contact form, perhaps with a (reCaptcha) captcha, an embed from X, a TrustPilot widget, etc.
This could leave you with a list like:
Home page (
/)About us page (
/about-us)Contact page (
/contact)
If you are using Consent Studio an e-commerce store, you do not need to add every product page: just the ones that differ from each other. We do however recommend that you select product pages of products that will exist for quite a while. This may be your list:
Home page (
/)About us page (
/about-us)Contact page (
/contact)A product page with a video (
/product/product-with-a-video)A product page with an external product reviews list (
/product/cookie-robot-3000)A regular product page (
/product/another-product)
How to add pages to the must-scan list?
Start by opening the Consent Studio Dashboard, logging into your account and making sure that you have the right domain context selected.
In the top bar, open the Monitoring dropdown menu.
Click Pages to Scan in the Scan section of the dropdown menu in order to navigate to the right panel.
Add pages by clicking the Add Page button in the top right corner of the panel. Here you will be asked to provide the path of the page. For example, when you would like Consent Studio to scan https://vallonic.com/ons-team, the path world be /ons-team.
