What visitors will see the Cookie Consent Banner

The NextRoll Cookie Consent Banner will appear depending on the country where your company is based and where your website visitor are located:

Where is your company located? Which visitors will see it?
Outside of the EU, UK, BR, and CAD. Only visitors with an EU, UK, BR, or Quebec IP address. Your traffic from other locations (i.e. US) will not see the Cookie Consent Banner.
In the EU, UK, BR, or Quebec. All your visitors.

Visitors that are presented with the NextRoll Cookie Consent Banner will have to either Decline All or Allow All tracking activity. If after the visitor is presented with the NextRoll Cookie Consent Banner, they navigate to another page on your website without giving consent, the visitor will continue to see the above banner until proper consent is collected.

RollWorks can't track visitors who don't grant consent

Any visitors that are presented with the banner but that do not grant consent will not be tracked by the Pixel, therefore you will not see any page views tracked in RollWorks for the corresponding account.

Even if the visitor clicks on one of your ads and then is taken to your website, if proper cookie consent is not provided through the banner, the pixel will not fire and as a result, RollWorks will not track the page visit associated with the ad click. This is the most common reason why you may see an ad click without any associated page views in your RollWorks dashboard.

To recap, your website visitors are tracked by RollWorks only after the Pixel fires.

  • If your visitor leaves your website before they accept the Cookie Consent Banner, the Pixel will not fire they will not be tracked by RollWorks.
  • If a visitor accepts the Cookie Consent Banner but leaves your website before the Pixel loads, the visitor will not be tracked.

Keep in mind that not all visitors may be presented with your Cookie Consent Banner, this depends on your location and your website's traffic location. Jump to this section to learn who will be presented with the cookie consent banner.

 

NextRoll's Cookie Consent Banner visitor settings

When a visitor clicks the links Advertising Partners or Settings in the banner, the visitor will see a menu to customize their ad preferences. NextRoll’s compliance with IAB TCF v2.2 framework means your visitors will have more transparency in data collection and processing activities. Visitors can exercise their consent based on Purposes and/or Partners.

 

Customization of cookies based on Purposes:

A visitor may also customize the cookies permitted based on the specific purpose of the cookie. For example, if a visitor does not want to allow a cookie to be dropped for the purpose of “creating a personalized content profile” but will allow cookies for the purpose of “selecting basic ads” then a visitor can object to the Legitimate Interest basis of collection for “creating a personalized content profile” and decline to grant consent for this purpose under the “Purpose and Features” tab of the tool. When that occurs, all partners who collect personal data for the purposes of creating a personalized content profile will either: no longer drop cookies or limit the tracking cookies dropped so as to not exercise this purpose.

 

Persistent Icon

The NextRoll's Cookie Consent Banner comes with a persistent icon ICON.png that allows visitors to modify their consent preferences at any given time of their activity on your website.

Visitors can click on the persistent icon to:

  • Change the consent settings to Allow or Decline the tracking activity.
  • Customize their consent for specific purposes and features.
  • Customize their consent by allowing selected partners.

Change the Persistent Icon's placement

As part of following the TCF v2.2 guidelines for the NextRoll Cookie Consent Banner, the NextRoll persistent icon is located at the bottom right corner of your website near the footer of the page to enable easy access to the consent banner and its preferences to the end consumer. You cannot remove the persistent icon as it is mandatory under the new IAB TCF v2.2 guidelines.

You may need to scroll to the bottom of your browser window to find the persistent icon as pictured below.

If this location is unsuitable for you, you may use CSS to reposition the persistent icon. The icon is wrapped in a <div> element with the id value of nextroll_consent_persistent_icon

Below are some examples to reposition the Persistent Icon:

Example 1. Keep the icon in the bottom right corner, but raise it 40 pixels from the bottom of the page.

 #nextroll_consent_persistent_icon {
bottom: 40px;
}
 

 

Example 2: Keep the icon in the bottom right corner, but move it 40 pixels from the right edge of the page.

 #nextroll_consent_persistent_icon {
right: 40px;
}

 

Example 3: Move the icon to the bottom left corner of the page.

#nextroll_consent_persistent_icon {
left: 0;
right: auto;
}
 

 

Example 4: Center-align the icon at the bottom of the page:

#nextroll_consent_persistent_icon {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
 

 

You can add these styles to your website’s existing CSS files or you can add them directly to your web page. Note that if you add it to your webpage HTML, you’ll need to wrap it in the <style> tag for the browser to apply it correctly.

Example 5:

<style>
#nextroll_consent_persistent_icon {
    right: 0;
}
</style>
 

 

Custom CSS

The NextRoll banner doesn’t support custom CSS or any other custom changes at this time.
The NextRoll banner gathers consent for our cookie, our exchange partners through which we display your ads, and measurement and fraud tools such as Pixalate. If you have other tracking tools on your site, especially those that use cookies, you may need to find an alternative banner that can cover consent for those tools.

Our banner is available in the following languages based on your visitors' browser:

  • English

NextRoll Cookie Consent Banner FAQs

What is a Cookie Banner or CMP? 

A consent management platform (CMP) is a tool often referred to as a “cookie banner” that enables a website or app to comply with data privacy laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) by providing site visitors with pertinent information about personal data collection and giving the site visitor a choice to Accept or Decline to have personal data processed and/or tracking technologies deployed during their site visit.

This type of consent is sometimes referred to as “opt-in” consent and other data privacy laws that require it include at least the following:

  • ePrivacy Directive
  • Brazilian Data Protection Law, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (“LGPD”)
  • Canada Consumer Privacy Protection Act (“CCPA”)
  • Quebec Law 25, An Act to Modernize Legislation Provisions Respecting the Protection of Personal Information (“Law 25”) regarding obtaining informed consent to use tracking technologies and lawfully collect personal data.

Specifically, a CMP informs site visitors about the tracking technologies used on a site and the personal data processed by the site for specified purposes. The CMP prompts the site visitor to affirmatively consent or decline the tracking and personal processing activities. In addition, a CMP collects and manages a record of the visitor’s choice to consent or decline, and should have the ability to pass that recorded preference to downstream ad partners to allow those partners to recognize and honor the user’s preferences.

Can I Use a Different Cookie Consent Banner?

Yes! But . . . 

Be sure to consult with a privacy professional or attorney knowledgeable about the data privacy laws of the regions where your site will be accessed and where your country is located. For example, if your company is located in Europe, it will have to comply with GDPR even if you only want to attract site visitors from the United States.

This Help Center article provides best practice information when using an in-house or third-party consent banner that is not controlled and operated by NextRoll.

What is IAB?

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) empowers the media and marketing industries to thrive in the digital economy. Its membership comprises more than 650 leading media companies, brands, and technology firms responsible for selling, delivering, and optimizing digital ad marketing campaigns. The trade group fields critical research on interactive advertising, while also educating brands, agencies, and the wider business community on the importance of digital marketing.

 

What is TCF v2.2?

The TCF is a framework for creating a uniform CMP. TCF stands for “transparency and consent framework” and the IAB provides detailed information on its site about the policy and specification: https://iabeurope.eu/transparency-consent-framework/

The overall purpose of TCFv2.2 is to provide website visitors with clear and effective notice of the data collection technologies, practices, and purposes for processing personal data to allow users to make informed choices and record the preferences expressed in a manner easily honored across the ad tech ecosystem via technical means. 

As per IAB Europe, “The IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) is the only GDPR consent solution built by the industry for the industry, creating a true industry-standard approach”. The TCF now includes a framework that tracks Law 25 in Quebec. TCF allows advertisers to disclose their relationship with vendors present on the website or app. By disclosing the preferred vendors, the IAB helps the advertisers obtain consent or express their asserted legitimate interest as the lawful basis for processing personal data.
