Privacy Mode

Jitsu can work in privacy mode which makes it compatible with GDPR, CCPA (California's version of GDPR), PECR (UK's GDPR). In this mode Jitsu:

  • Won't use cookies to identify users; instead of cookies, Jitsu will use fingerprints which is sufficient enough to identify users.
  • Won't record the full IP address of the user. Instead, only the first 3 octets will be recorded which is just enough to resolve the country and city

To switch on privacy mode, use the privacy_policy parameter (or data-privacy-policy) following the configuration parameter:

const { jitsuClient } = require('@jitsu/sdk-js');
const jitsu = jitsuClient({
    key: "[API_KEY]",
    privacy_policy: 'strict'
});

or

<script src="%%SERVER%%/s/lib.js"
        data-key="JITSU_API_KEY"
        data-privacy-policy="strict"
        defer></script>
<script>

privacy_policy=strict is just a shortcut for cookie_policy=strict and ip_policy=strict configuration. You can configure them separately:

const { jitsuClient } = require('@jitsu/sdk-js');
const jitsu = jitsuClient({
    key: "[API_KEY]",
    ip_policy: 'strict' as Policy,
    cookie_policy: 'strict' as Policy
});

or

<script src="%%SERVER%%/s/lib.js"
        data-key="JITSU_API_KEY"
        data-cookie-policy="strict"
        data-ip-policy="strict"
        defer></script>
<script>

If privacy mode is off, you should collect a cookie consent for residents of EU and UK. Jitsu uses cookie only for analytics, so they fall under analytics (or functional) cookies category.



The good idea is to make switch on cookie_policy and ip_policy for only those users who didn't consent to cookies or ip address.

Geo Targeting

Jitsu can detect users country with MaxMind and if the country is in EU or is UK then the behavior will be like privacy_policy=strict. Otherwise, there won't be any restriction on using cookies or storing IP address. For using geo targeting use comply policy value like in the following example:

const { jitsuClient } = require('@jitsu/sdk-js');
const jitsu = jitsuClient({
    key: "[API_KEY]",
    cookie_policy: 'comply' as Policy,
    ip_policy: 'comply' as Policy
});

or

<script src="%%SERVER%%/s/lib.js"
        data-key="JITSU_API_KEY"
        data-cookie-policy="comply"
        data-ip-policy="comply"
        defer></script>
<script>

Geo targeting works only if MaxMind is configured. If MaxMind configuration isn't provided the behavior will be like in strict mode.
