By using AdOpt, you can setup Cookie Banners to attend one or more websites.
In this guide we will clarify the URL limit and help you understand which plan is best for your business.
💡 Tip: When searching for one of the plans in AdOpt, we can compare the amount of URLs available. Understanding this limit can help you choose a plan in AdOpt.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is a website the same as a URL? How many URL's do I need?
I have a single site and on it dozens of pages. Is one Cookie Banner enough?
Can I install the Cookie Banner on the home page only?
Can I use the same Cookie Banner for two different websites (e.g. blog and store)?
Short answer: The number of pages that trigger distinct cookies is equal to the number of URL's.
Detailed answer: In order to answer, we need to identify the number of pages (URLs) that trigger cookies and whether they have distinct cookies between them.
📢 Important: The Cookie Banner must show all cookies active on your site.
Therefore, AdOpt needs to read all cookies to present a compliant Cookie Banner. The URLs you enter will be the pages that our system reads. So when creating a Disclaimer you need to ensure to list these URLs.
When understanding this process, you will be able to find the best solutions for your website(s).
We have the following components in this "Cookie Banner" equation:
Cookie Banner;
Pages/URLs that trigger cookies (on one or more websites);
Documents: Terms of Use and Privacy Policiy;
DSAR page (Opt-out).
These elements can interfere with your choice of a plan at AdOpt, the amount of Disclaimers desired, the strategy behind the documentations, and more. But let's leave the mathematics aside and bring in practical examples.
Practical example - Ecommerce
Picture an Ecommerce where the homepage, the FAQ and the cart page have separate cookie triggers. To have a complete Disclaimer you will need to list these three URLs, for the purposes of:
A single banner will have information on all the services (Tags) that fire cookies on the site by scanning those 3 pages and identifying all the Tags and Cookies on the site;
This banner can serve all pages of the website (not just the three).
All URLs will display the same documentation (Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Data Request Page).
Note 1: One possibility for this case would be to move all cookie triggers to a single page and use a simple banner (with a single URL listed). This in an attempt to bring everything to one URL. If you need more Disclaimers than are included in your current plan, you can contact us at any time to inquire about available add-ons and pricing.
Note 2: Using multiple URLs within a single Disclaimer is a feature available from the Business plan onwards.
Practical example - several sites of the same corporate group
We serve large companies that basically want a single banner for all possible websites, pages and environments.
Is it possible to setup a single Cookie Banner to serve multiple distinct websites such as: blog; institutional; courses or store environment; etc?
Answer: Yes!
Remember that all these websites will have one and the same Cookie Banner and everything will be centralized in the same environment (Disclaimer) within the AdOpt platform.
Regarding the configuration purposes within the platform:
Disclaimer Creation:
All the websites must be listed in the Banner creation;
Documentations:
If you are going to add the documentation links in the Cookie Notice, they should cover all these websites in the group;
Opt-out page (DSAR):
The opt-out page (DSAR) will serve all visitors request.
Data Protection Officer routines (DPO):
Consent Logs:
All actions recorded in the Cookie Banner will appear within the Consent Log.
Opt-out Page
All request flows from the opt-out page will go to the email(s) registered on the opt-out page (account owner and DPO, depending on your configuration of the DSAR page).
