- Description
Since Tiki29 we have 4 switches on the cookies consent dialog:
- essential
- analytics
- marketing
- functional
If the usage for the "essential" cookies is clear and leave no choice, the other switches usages, except for their name, are very unclear to me. The tooltip doesn't add any useful information to help to understand more than the name of the switch. If this switches exist and are displayed, the admin should be able to find in the control panels what allow or enable them to be displayed.Also, it seems they are displayed by default, no matter what has set the admin in his Tiki site.
In my use case I didn't set anything brand new Tiki. No analytics or marketing and the cookies consent for this Tiki shouldn't display anything about analytics and marketing. Not only it is not necessary but it can harm the image of a website where this tools are excluded.Nothing also in the doc: https://doc.tiki.org/Tiki29
Additionally, the reliability of Analytics and Marketing seems to be = 0
I have Matomo tracking code in my Look&Feel -> Customization fields and they work even if the cookie Analytic switch is kept OFF.- Solution
