Setting Up Hybrid Tracking with eTracker Correctly

eTracker offers the option of tracking without setting cookies. This type of tracking is therefore possible even without the website visitor’s consent and can remain active even if all cookies have been rejected. However, tracking without cookies does not allow for the same level of data collection as usual; therefore, ideally, once the user has given consent, the system should switch to the tracking-mode, in which cookies are set.

To enable so-called hybrid tracking, the tracking-provider recommends that the eTracker-code from CCM19 should not be blocked. In the recommended standard-configuration, eTracker will initially not set any cookies on its own. Connections to a third-party server will still be established, however.

To switch to the tracking-mode with cookies, CCM19 must transmit the information—that the website visitor has consented to the use of eTracker-cookies—to eTracker. To enable this, the following code must be entered in the “Embedding & Cookies” section under “Embedding Source Code” in a technically necessary embedding (for example, the embedding of CCM19 itself, which is always present and executed):

```html```

It is important to note that the variable name in i.name == 'eTracker' must always match the name of the eTracker-integration in CCM19. If the integration is named "eTracker," then no changes are necessary.
