amazon-adsystem.com tracker

Hi @sdesign-1,

Can you share an URL to the website in question? The scan detects the scripts/services responsible for placing third-party cookies, not the third-party cookies themselves.

Sharing the URL would allow us to check if there are non-functional cookies being set, and if yes, which service/element causes this. We can verify whether it needs to be added to the “known scripts” to be blocked.

Kind regards,
Jarno

Yes sure,

Thanks

Hi @sdesign-1,

To block this iFrame/widget you can try adding amazon-adsystem.com to Complianz > Integrations > Script center, under “URL’s or unique string from the inline scripts of third-party scripts & plugins” that should be blocked before consent.

If the widget doesn’t work correctly with the above method, you can wrap the element in [cmplz-consent-area] [/cmplz-consent-area] tags to hide the element until consent is obtained, as per this guide: https://complianz.io/wrapping-content-in-consent-shortcodes/

Alternatively, if you could explain how this element is inserted to the page, we can have a look at an integration.

Kind regards,
Jarno

Hi

Adding amazon-adsystem.com didn’t block the script, it was still being reported.

I’ve wrapped it in the short code as suggested and that hides the content as you said, so this works. But how do I tell my visitors about it to be GDPR compliant? As it’s not added as a cookie it’s not appearing on the cookie policy page.

Yes, would be good for an integration to be add to Complianz. I’m sure a lot of people must use Amazon affiliate links. The element is inserted with the following code:

<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1409155811/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1409155811&linkCode=as2&tag=intolerate-21&linkId=fa3d1fddde1c92590ddc20d5f4f5d563"><img border="0" src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&MarketPlace=GB&ASIN=1409155811&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL250_&tag=intolerate-21" ></a>

Thanks for your help

Hi @sdesign-1,

Thank you for your reply and sharing the used code.

We’re having a closer look at this for an integration. As for the Consent wrapping shortcode, you can insert text by using the shortcode like this:

[cmplz-consent-area  text="Enable this content by clicking this link"]

/* add your snippet or iFrame that needs to be blocked before consent */

[/cmplz-consent-area]

For details about this and how to add styling, please refer to this article.

Hope this helps for now!
Kind regards,
Jarno

Hi @sdesign-1,

We’ve placed the element here (https://demo.complianz.io/amazon/) but these Amazon cookies aren’t being set by it. I assume there must be some other script on your page resulting in these cookies being set, perhaps a plugin?

Let us know if you have further information about this.
Kind regards,
Jarno

Hi

You are correct, there is no cookie placed. However, I loaded the demo page and safari is reporting that I’m being tracked by amazon-adsystem.com (see image linked below)

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Alex

Hi @sdesign-1,

Because it’s an image source, I think your best options would be to:

– Hide it using the [cmplz-consent-area] shortcode.
– Hardcode the images and add a hyperlink to them, to avoid “amazon-adsystem.com” altogether. You wouldn’t have dynamic entries, but you also wouldn’t have to hide the element.

Alternatively, you could block images from third-party sources with an MU Plugin: https://github.com/Really-Simple-Plugins/complianz-integrations/blob/master/block-images.php

Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Jarno
