Event logging

Requirements

• Tealium EventStream or Tealium DataAccess (EventStore or EventDB)

How it works

The event logging feature logs every consent action taken by your visitors and works with all the client-side consent management offerings. When client-side consent management is deployed to your site and event logging is enabled, consent actions are sent as an HTTP request to Tealium’s server-side CDH, where they can be logged with EventStore or EventDB or streamed with EventStream as needed for auditing and record-keeping purposes.

The following consent actions are logged:

• Grant or revoke consent
• Changes to consent preferences
• Changes to the Do Not Sell option

For customers with access to the relevant products, these events can be stored in EventDB and EventStore or streamed with EventStream (consent-based blocking does not apply to these specific events).

For customers who prefer to use their own data collection endpoint, a custom URL can be specified.

Event logging settings

The following settings are available:

• Log Consent Changes - set to Yes to enable event logging (applies to all consent management offerings).

• Event Log URL - the event collection endpoint used to log consent changes. Only edit this setting if you have your own data collection endpoint.
  Default:

  https://collect.tealiumiq.com/event
  

• Event Log Profile - the profile to which logged events should be sent. The value set here is passed to the event log URL as the parameter tealium_profile="PROFILE".

To customize the consent event payloads, edit these two templates fullConsentEventHandler and partialConsentEventHandler. For more information about updating templates, see Managing Templates.
