Appendix: Dynamic and Non-Dynamic Tracker Behavior

This section details how the system matches the URL where the user is located (the referrer or full URL) against your list of scanned URLs to determine if the Consent Manager (CM) overlay should load.

The system ignores the following elements when comparing a user's current URL (Referrer or Full URL) against your list of Scanned URLs. The system automatically normalizes these parts to ensure successful matching:

• Both http:// and https:// are disregarded.
• The www. prefix is ignored.
• A final forward slash (/) at the end of the domain or path is ignored.

Full URL is the URL that appears on the address bar on the browser.

The HTTP Referer request header contains the absolute or partial address from which a resource has been requested.

Dynamic Tracker Behavior

When the Dynamic Tracker option is enabled, the system requires a strict, exact match between the Scanned URL and the site’s Referrer or Full URL. When the HTTP Referer is either not found in the list of Scanned URLs or is associated with a page that contains no trackers, the system will automatically utilize the Full URL as the fallback seed URL. If the Full URL is also not found in the list of scanned pages, the system returns an empty list, and the Notice JavaScript drops the default 0 (required) preference cookie.
