Cookie Consent Tool Setup

QA Assistants uses cookieless tracking by default.

If you use a cookie consent tool, you may need to configure it so that tracking behavior changes based on the visitor’s consent.

Overview​

  • By default, tracking works without cookies
  • Cookies are used only when consent is given
  • If consent is not given, cookieless tracking continues

To ensure this works correctly, you may need to configure your cookie consent tool.

Open the settings screen of the cookie consent tool you are using.

Step 2: Register cookies used by QA Assistants​

Register the cookies used by QA Assistants and assign them to the appropriate category.
