Using Cookie Consent, you can configure geolocation rules that determine the consent model, behaviors, and content that will be shown to site visitors from certain locations. This is done by leveraging Cloudflare to perform a reverse IP lookup that will return the general location of the user (approximately at the city level). The location is not stored and is only used to determine the applicable rule.

From Cloudflare's IP geolocation documentation:

Cloudflare can include the country code of the visitor's IP address (in ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 format) with each request between Cloudflare and the upstream origin web server. This allows site administrators to capture their visitor's IP location in server logging and/or application logic. Besides ISO country codes, Cloudflare uses the following special country codes:

  • XX - Used for clients without country code data.

  • T1 - Used for clients using the Tor network.

To set up geolocation rules, you first have to set up a geolocation rule group. This will allow you to group geolocation rules in a way that complies with applicable privacy laws. You must have a default geolocation rule group and a default geolocation rule within each geolocation rule group to define the behaviors to use when no other rules apply.

When a script is published, the template and geolocation rule will change to Active. If any changes are made to the geolocation or template, they will revert to Draft. Scripts will either be Draft if unpublished or Published after publishing.
