What StickyCTAs Tracks
StickyCTAs is designed with minimal data collection. The widget itself does not send any visitor data back to our servers. When a visitor interacts with your widget:
- The widget configuration is fetched once from our API (widget ID, colors, buttons).
- No visitor information (IP, browser, location) is collected or stored by StickyCTAs.
- If you have GA4 configured, interaction events are sent directly to your Google Analytics property — not ours.
StickyCTAs does not build visitor profiles, does not sell data, and does not share visitor information with any third party.
EU Consent Flow (GDPR)
For visitors on stickyctas.com itself (not your website), we implement a full cookie consent flow:
Geo-detection
We use Vercel's x-vercel-ip-country header to detect whether a visitor is in the EU/EEA, UK, or Switzerland. This check happens at the edge — no third-party geo-IP service is used.
Cookie banner
EU visitors see a consent banner. Analytics cookies are denied by default until the visitor makes a choice.
Accept
Accepting upgrades Google Analytics consent live using gtag('consent', 'update'). No page reload is needed — GA begins collecting data immediately.
Decline
Declining dismisses the banner and keeps analytics storage denied for the session. GA4 still receives pings but without cookies, using Consent Mode v2.
Google Consent Mode v2
When analytics consent is denied, GA4 operates in Consent Mode v2. This means:
- No
_gaor_gidcookies are set. - Cookieless pings are still sent to Google so GA4 can use statistical modeling to estimate traffic.
- This approach maintains compliance while giving you directional analytics data.
Opt-Out & Opt Back In
Any visitor (EU or not) can permanently opt out of analytics on stickyctas.com by visiting our Privacy Policy page and clicking the opt-out button. This sets an analytics-opted-out cookie that persists for one year.
When opted out, the GA script does not load at all — no pings, no cookies, no requests to Google.
To opt back in, return to the Privacy Policy page and click the opt-in button. The cookie is removed and GA loads normally on the next page view.
CCPA (California)
StickyCTAs does not sell personal data as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act. We use Google Analytics solely for site measurement — not for advertising, remarketing, or behavioral targeting. The opt-out mechanism described above is available to all visitors, including California residents, as a voluntary control.
