CCM19 Upgrade to Generation 2

If you are using a version purchased after October 13, 2020, this does not apply to you. For everyone else:

With the release of version 13.10.2020, the CCM19 Cookie Consent Tool was redesigned to display and process integrations instead of using "only" cookies.

The old Generation 1 version will continue to be supported until at least the end of March 2021, but will generally no longer receive new features—only bug fixes.

In the old consent mask, you could only accept or reject categories; with the new version, you can now not only check the categories but also the individual integrations.

Google Analytics is a good example. Whereas you previously had to enter each cookie separately, it is now sufficient to select a Google Analytics entry from the database, and all associated cookies and elements are automatically created. Visitors can then choose whether they want to use Google Analytics or not.

If you have been using an older version of Generation 1, you can perform a manual upgrade to Generation 2. Unfortunately, an automatic upgrade is not possible, as we do not know all the cookies and their relationships.

But don’t worry - —the upgrade is actually quite simple to perform and usually takes about 5 minutes

Performing the Upgrade

There are two ways to perform the upgrade.

1. Switching the software via selection; in this case, the entries must be recreated manually
2. Upgrade via extended onboarding -; in this case, almost everything can be done automatically.

1. Migration via selection

To perform the migration manually, go to the "Frontend Behavior" menu item on the left. There you will now find the following new entry. First, uncheck the box marked in red and read carefully what it says:-).

You can then switch the dropdown menu from "Cookie (obsolete)" to "Embeddings." Once you have done this, the "Cookies" menu item will be replaced by the "Embeddings and Cookies" menu item, and a new form will be available.

At the same time, the consent form in the frontend will also be updated. You can now create the new embeddings under this menu item as explained here.

2. Switch via extended onboarding

You can access the migration via the extended onboarding through the old "Cookies" menu item. For this to work, you should not yet perform the migration described in step 1.

To do this, click the link "Click here to perform the upgrade." You will then be taken to the familiar screen from the onboarding process.

For the download version, you must now enter the currently used page URL; in our cloud version, this is not necessary, as the domain is already known from the selection. Then follow the instructions on the screen; after the scan, you will be taken to the familiar screen and the process already described here.

Once you have completed the onboarding process, you will be taken to the list of embeddings, which you can then edit again. As described here.
