Everything about Microsoft Clarity

The _clck cookie

_clck is a cookie set by Microsoft Clarity, from Microsoft Corporation. Stores a Clarity user ID and a cookie preference flag so sessions from the same visitor are grouped together.

Does the _clck cookie require consent?

_clck is used for analytics, so under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules it may only be set after the visitor has agreed. Showing a banner is not enough on its own: the cookie must not be set before the visitor clicks accept.

Does your site set _clck before consent?

A free scan loads your site the way a new visitor sees it and lists every cookie that is set before anyone has said yes, _clck included.

How to put _clck behind consent

Remove the Microsoft Clarity snippet from your site and add your Microsoft Clarity ID under Integrations in Consentify instead. Consentify then loads Microsoft Clarity only after the visitor has accepted analytics, so _clck is never set before consent.
