Launch Rule to fire when cookie is accepted or cookie is already on browser

Hi. I am looking to implement a Launch rule to trigger when either a user clicks on accept cookie banner or a cookie is already existing on the user browser? what could be the custom code in Launch? Any Step by Step information? Or any other direct way to implement the rule?

You can have 2 Rules:

  1. Rule with:
    1. Click event on the cookie banner's "Accept" button
  2. Rule with:
    1. Library Loaded event
    2. Condition that checks for the presence of the cookie

When new users click on the Accept banner, they would cause the 1st Rule to trigger. I assume the cookie banner then sets the cookie.

Subsequently, these users who had already granted consent would have the cookie in their browser, so every page they visit would cause the 2nd Rule to trigger.

    @jyotisharmav No, you don't need Custom Code.

     

    1. Create a Data Element of "Cookie" type. Provide the name of your cookie.

    2. In your Rule's Condition, use "Value Comparison". Pick the data element in the first field. Then in the dropdown list, choose "Is truthy". Save your Condition.

     

    "Is truthy" is a convenient way to check if a data element is set with a value. ("Is falsy" is the reverse, i.e. check if a data element does not have a value.)
