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 of the Tealium Consent Management offerings. When Tealium 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 desired 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.
