To ensure compliance with privacy regulations and to support user trust, you should provide an opt-out option for Mapp Intelligence tracking on your website.
Mapp Intelligence is designed with data protection in mind: All tracking data is stored securely and remains under your control. Nevertheless, offering an opt-out is not only a legal requirement in many regions – it also signals transparency and respect for user choices.
We recommend implementing the opt-out using a dual approach:
Client-side opt-out: A cookie is set via JavaScript on click.
Server-side opt-out: A redirect to the tracking domain ensures that the opt-out is also recognized server-side.
This combination ensures maximum reliability, even in environments where one method may fail (e.g., due to browser restrictions).
1 Client-Side Opt-Out
Add the following JavaScript function to your website. It sets the opt-out cookie for a duration of five years:
<script type="text/javascript">
function wtOptOut() {
window.wtSmart = window.wtSmart || [];
window.wtSmart.push(function(wtSmart) {
wtSmart.utils.optout.set(5*12*30*24*60); // 5 years in minutes
});
}
</script>
2 Server-Side Opt-Out
Place the following link somewhere on your website (e.g., in your privacy policy). This link sets the opt-out cookie via the tracking server:
<a id="optout"
title="OptOut click"
href=https://[TrackDomain]/[TrackId]/optout.php?redirect=[encoded URL of data privacy page]
onclick="wtOptOut();"
>Click here to opt-out from tracking</a>
Replace the placeholders:
Placeholder | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
[TrackDomain] | Your Mapp Intelligence Track Domain | q3.webtrekk.net |
[TrackId] | Your Mapp Intelligence Track ID | 123456789012345 |
[encoded URL of your privacy page] | URL-encoded link to your privacy or confirmation page |
