Our 1st party hosting feature helps ensure that ad blockers do not unfairly interrupt responsible data tracking. This is in line with privacy best practice and GDPR compliance. By configuring your CDN 1st party hosting, you'll be able to change the host of your Web Container(s) & Privacy banner(s). Are you looking for an additional approach to avoid the effects of ad blockers and keep tracking? You've come to the right place!
Prerequisite: have a valid CNAME in your DNS configuration 2 CNAMEs are required: 1 for file's hosting & 1 for SSL certification More info here
Go on Administration > Domain Management
Look to the menu Domain Management for CDN 1st party
Click on "Add Subdomain"
Enter your subdomain name
Once saved, the new subdomain will be displayed in your list
Once your subdomain is added, you need to validate your configuration, to obtain a Valid Certificate It will be validated only if your CNAME has been properly configured
As long as the domain isn't activated, your workspace will not be impacted by your configuration. Once activated, all your Web Container(s) & Privacy banner(s) will be hosted on the new subdomain(s)
Your configuration is using multiple work spaces? 1st party hosting allows you to share a subdomain between different sites IDs, as long as they belong to the same "invoicing account".
Pre requisite: must have validated and activated subdomains on other work spaces
Instead of "Add subdomain", click on "Load subdomain"
Select in the drop down's menu the subdomain you need to use on your workspace.
A loaded domain is activated by default. If you want to stop it on your workspace, simply click the button "stop using this subdomain". The subdomain will remains activated on the site where it is configured.
Good to know! On site copy, the CDN 1st configuration(s) will not be copied, you'll need to load subdomains from the "parent" site.
When your setup is done, the Deploy step of Web Containers & Privacy banners are now impacted. That means your files will now hosted on your new domain.
To ensure stability, re generate & re deploy all your Web Container(s), and Privacy banner(s)
Congratulations! Your configuration is done!
