Metomic Contextual Consent - Make your third party embeds privacy-enabled.

by
Embedded content like chat widgets and videos will drop third-party tracking cookies on your users... what if you don't want that? Metomic offers a simple solution. Render a cookie-free "placeholder" element and only load the real content when a user clicks.

Hey there πŸ‘‹ My name's Rich and I'm cofounder of Metomic. Most of us have chat widgets πŸ’¬, videos πŸŽ₯, social share buttons πŸ‘and other third party embeds on our websites. But these drop cookies all over our users before they even click on them, which isn't exactly fair. How can we make this optional while making sure our users still know the content exists? With Metomic Contextual Consent you can render cookie-free "placeholders" and only load the real content when your users interact with it. All it takes is one snippet on your website and Metomic will take care of the rest - blocking the most popular third parties including Intercom, Youtube, Facebook, Crisp, Twitter, Maps, Typeform and others. Or if you're up for it, go create your own! We excited to see where this can go and we'd love to your feedback to help us get it there.

I've cheated and chatted to the team before this came out, but I am just a huge fan of this idea and this lightweight implementation. Being able to give users granular access to different levels of content without having to wholesale approve cookies is something I'm so excited about.

Not only are Rich and Ben incredibly awesome human beings, they’re solving a fundamental internet problem in an elegant way. Love this new feature - it removes the pain for the end user of an arduous consent process and should drive many more sites to really care about privacy. Can’t wait to see where this goes πŸš€

I wish all websites had this! Most consumers don't realise what happens to their data.

Thanks so much @gertjanwilde :)

Cool product Does it also improve Page speed, because none of the embedded items are loaded at first?
Rich Vibert
Hunter
@mike_p6 Thanks Mike. In general it makes your first appearance faster because all of the scripts we block don't have to run. But in does depend on the page so we can't make promises on this just yet!
