Databuddy

The Databuddy script automatically respects consent preferences by toggling tracking on and off based on the user's consent state.

Script Implementation

Adding the Databuddy script to c15t

import { configureConsentManager } from 'c15t';
import { databuddy } from '@c15t/scripts/databuddy';

configureConsentManager({
  // ... 
  scripts: [
    databuddy({ 
      clientId: 'your-client-id',
      scriptUrl: 'https://cdn.databuddy.cc/databuddy.js',
      apiUrl: 'https://basket.databuddy.cc',
      options: {
        trackScreenViews: true,
        trackOutgoingLinks: true,
      }
    }),
  ],
});

Using Databuddy in your application

Once initialized, Databuddy is available globally via window.databuddy or window.db:

// Track a custom event
window.databuddy?.trackCustomEvent('button_clicked', {
  button_id: 'signup',
  page: '/landing'
});

// Or use the shorthand
window.db?.track('purchase_completed', {
  amount: 99.99,
  currency: 'USD'
});

// Track a screen view manually
window.databuddy?.screenView('/dashboard', {
  user_role: 'admin'
});

// Set global properties for all events
window.databuddy?.setGlobalProperties({
  app_version: '1.2.3',
  environment: 'production'
});

The Databuddy integration automatically handles consent management:

Before Script Load: Sets window.databuddyConfig.disabled based on initial consent state
On Consent Grant: Enables tracking by setting window.databuddy.options.disabled = false
On Consent Revoke: Disables tracking by setting window.databuddy.options.disabled = true

This ensures that no tracking occurs without user consent, keeping your analytics privacy-compliant.

Configuration Options

The options parameter allows you to customize Databuddy's behavior:

databuddy({
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  scriptUrl: 'https://cdn.databuddy.cc/databuddy.js',
  apiUrl: 'https://basket.databuddy.cc', // Optional, defaults to basket.databuddy.cc, change if self-hosting
  options: {
    // Tracking options
    trackScreenViews: true,        // Automatically track page views
    trackOutgoingLinks: true,      // Track clicks on external links
    trackAttributes: false,        // Track data-track attributes on elements
    trackErrors: false,            // Track JavaScript errors
    trackPerformance: true,        // Track performance metrics
    trackWebVitals: false,         // Track Core Web Vitals
  
    
    // Network options
    enableBatching: false,         // Batch events before sending
    batchSize: 10,                 // Events per batch
    batchTimeout: 2000,            // Batch timeout in ms
    samplingRate: 1.0,             // Sample rate (0.0-1.0)
  }
})
