What is Clym's privacy widget script?

Clym's privacy widget script is the most important script you will need to add to your website and serves the following purposes:

• In case it is required by the regulation in effect in the country of origin of your customer, it will block scripts that have been added to your website by a developer until consent to load them is given;
• As your users browse your website from different locations across the globe, it continuously scans for new first party cookies and third party scripts and cookies and categorizes them as they are encountered;
• It provides means for your customers to manage their privacy settings, review your policies and other legal documents, and exercise their data subject rights.

 

What does it look like?

Clym's privacy widget actually includes two scripts that are presented together in a compact format for your convenience:

• the script that blocks the other scripts from running (unless users provide their consent or a specific regulation allows loading the scripts without users' consents);
• the script the displays the Clym privacy widget. 

The script will be presented in the following format:

<script src="https://widget.clym-sdk.net/blocking.js"></script> 
<script> 
(function(d,s,i,w,o){ 
var js,cjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; 
if(d.getElementById(i))return; 
js=d.createElement('script'); 
js.id=i; 
js.src="https://widget.clym-sdk.net/clym.js"; 
js.onload=function(){Clym&&Clym.load(i,w,o);}; 
cjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, cjs); }
(document,'script','clym-privacy','247as4rlkf814b778c6505446BdaoaeB',{})); 
</script>

 

How can I get it?

There are two ways to get the script:

• From the welcome email we send you once you register (Self-Served Accounts) or you are registered by a partner (Group Accounts);
• From the Clym Admin portal (all types of accounts).

Getting the code from your email

The welcome email you receive from us will include the Clym privacy widget script code that you can copy.

 

Getting the code from Clym Admin portal

To get the code from the Clym Admin portal, please follow the steps:

1. Log into Clym Admin portal 

Please view this dedicated article in case you have questions about the authentication process.

 

2. Select Property (ie. domain)

Navigate to the Properties menu item and select the domain for which you would like to get the Clym privacy widget code.

 

3. Select Widget > Embed

In the new property window that opens for the selected domain (ie. property), select Widget from the left menu and then Embed from the upper right corner.

 

4. Copy the widget code

Use the Copy button to copy the entire code. This will copy both scripts (blocking script and Clym widget script) at once so you can place it directly into the "head" section of your website. 

 

Where do I need to place it?

While the other links and Clym scripts might be placed throughout the site, it is important to place the Clym privacy widget script:

• On all pages of your website
