Does the intercom-device-id-* cookie require consent?
intercom-device-id-* is used for marketing, 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 intercom-device-id-* 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, intercom-device-id-* included.
How to put intercom-device-id-* behind consent
Remove the Intercom snippet from your site and add your Intercom ID under Integrations in Consentify instead. Consentify then loads Intercom only after the visitor has accepted marketing, so intercom-device-id-* is never set before consent.
