Add Script:

❗️

Important: Default Consent Information

Update the fallback variable defaultConsent with either granted or denied. This variable determines the default state when the cookie is missing.

• Once you have accessed the Elevar Custom Pixel, add the following script under the Elevar Checkout Tracking custom pixel:

//TrueVault mapping for checkout pages
analytics.subscribe("page_viewed", async (event) => {
 if (!event.context.window.location.pathname.includes("checkouts")) {
   return;
 }

 //Modify the defaultConsent based on store region
 let defaultConsent = "granted";

 function getCookie(name) {
   let match = document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(^| )" + name + "=([^;]+)"));
   if (match) return decodeURIComponent(match[2]);
   return null;
 }

 let consentCookie = getCookie("polaris_consent_settings");
 if (!consentCookie) {
   console.error("No polaris_consent_settings cookie found, applying default consent.");
   return;
 }

 try {
   let consentData = JSON.parse(consentCookie);

   //Check if required properties exist in the parsed cookie
   if (!consentData || typeof consentData !== "object") {
     console.error("Invalid or empty data in polaris_consent_settings cookie, applying default consent.");
     return;
   }

   const mapConsentStatus = function (status) {
     return status === true ? "granted" : "denied";
   };

   window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
   if (typeof gtag !== "function") {
     window.gtag = function () {
       window.dataLayer.push(arguments);
     };
   }

   gtag("consent", "update", {
     "analytics_storage": mapConsentStatus(consentData.analyticsPermitted),
     "ad_storage": mapConsentStatus(consentData.adsPermitted),
     "ad_user_data": mapConsentStatus(consentData.adsPermitted),
     "ad_personalization": mapConsentStatus(consentData.adsPermitted),
     "personalization_storage": mapConsentStatus(consentData.personalizationPermitted),
     "functionality_storage": mapConsentStatus(consentData.essentialPermitted),
     "security_storage": mapConsentStatus(consentData.essentialPermitted),
   });
 } catch (error) {
   console.error("Error parsing polaris_consent_settings cookie:", error);
 }
});

• Once you have added the required script, be sure to save the changes!
