Jifflenow: External Cookie Consent Support

Enterprise customers with strict cookie governance requirements currently cannot connect their own consent banners to the Jifflenow Inbound Request Page, creating a compliance gap that blocks participation in certain event programs. Coming soon, the Jifflenow Inbound Request Page will automatically detect and defer to an external cookie consent banner when one is present, holding all non-essential cookies until the attendee has explicitly granted permission. Activation requires no new settings. Meeting Managers simply add the consent banner snippet to the existing Analytics Script field on their event. Events that do not use an external banner are completely unaffected and continue to work exactly as they do today.

Key Highlights

Automatic Detection: When a consent banner snippet is present in the Analytics Script field, Jifflenow automatically recognizes it as the consent authority and suppresses its own native banner.

Zero Configuration: No new admin, event, or account settings are introduced. The entire setup happens through the existing Analytics Script field that Meeting Managers already use.

Cookie Blocking: In external consent mode, Jifflenow holds all non-essential cookies and tracking until the attendee grants consent through the external banner, with no page reload required.

Consent Respected: If an attendee later withdraws consent, any affected non-essential cookies are stopped from being written and removed from the session.

Existing Unaffected: Events without an external consent snippet continue to use Jifflenow's native cookie experience with no changes or reconfiguration needed.

Why Does It Matter

Compliance Ready: Enterprise customers with mandatory cookie governance policies can now meet their requirements without routing around Jifflenow or switching platforms.

Broader Access: Organizations that were previously unable to use Jifflenow due to consent-policy mandates can now fully participate in their event programs.

Portfolio Consistency: Jifflenow now aligns with other Cvent products that already support external consent banners, delivering a consistent compliance posture across the platform.

Note

• External consent support applies to the Jifflenow Inbound Request Page, including the 3-step booking flow, single IRP.

• Activation requires pasting the external consent banner snippet (wrapped in a script tag) into the "Inbound Request Page Analytics Script" field. No other configuration is needed.

• Events that do not include an external consent snippet are fully unaffected; native Jifflenow cookie behavior is unchanged for those events.
