Option 1: Integration into Website Cookie Management
The chat widget is loaded by the website’s consent manager only after the visitor has consented to functional or marketing cookies. Advantages:- Chat opening rate is measurable
- User behavior scoring is possible
Option 2: DialogShift Managed Consent
The chat widget loads initially without setting any cookies. When a visitor starts a live chat, DialogShift requests consent within the chat. No integration with the website consent manager is needed. Advantage: All website visitors can use the chatbot regardless of their cookie settings. Disadvantages:- Chat opening rate cannot be measured before interaction
- User behavior scoring is not possible until explicit consent is given
