Google Tag Manager for Do Not Sell / Share

DataGrail allows the submission of opt-outs via multiple methods. One method is setting a cookie to allow you to prevent the insertion of tags. For example, you may determine that you do not wish to have retargeting actions performed on opted-out users.

Customer Responsibilities​

Customers should perform a Do Not Sell/Share analysis, identify tags that are likely to be implicated in data sales, and make updates to their Google Tag Manager (GTM) tags to detect users who completed Do Not Sell/Share requests. (You can find out more about the Do Not Sell/Share form and process here)

​

DataGrail Responsibilities​

DataGrail will host the Do Not Sell/Share form for you and, per the customer Do Not Sell/Share analysis, set cookies as discussed above and/or synchronize state directly to Service Providers (discussed elsewhere).

DataGrail will set the ccpa_dnsmpi cookie, value, and lifetime when a consumer executes a request on the Do Not Sell/Share page. DataGrail will set the following values for the ccpa_dnsmpi cookie:

  • Cookie name: ccpa_dnsmpi
  • Value: true
  • Cookie lifetime: 10 years

Configuring GTM to Support DataGrail Opt Out Cookies​

You can defer to an internal team that manages GTM on how best to configure this, but the steps below walk through one way to complete this;

Log in to https://tagmanager.google.com/ and choose the appropriate Container

  2. Click the Trigger Configuration box and select Page View or DOM Ready

    • Note: Your selection here will be based on the triggers your organization utilizes. If you utilize Page View triggers for the tags that are implicated in data sales, use Page View and vice versa. If you utilize both, then you will create two triggers. In the screenshots we will be utilizing a Page View trigger as an example.
