Why can’t I just use any CMP on Wix?

Wix, like many large platforms, handles many tasks server side, not in your browser. This includes blocking certain scripts and displaying web pages.

Services like Cookiebot CMP work by initially blocking all scripts when a site loads. They then check if the user has allowed these scripts to run, and if so, the scripts are permitted to run.

This system works well if all the scripts load when the page loads. But Wix, to be efficient, doesn’t load all scripts right away. Instead, it loads them as needed from the server side. This means that a script-blocking service like Cookiebot CMP might not catch these scripts.

To address this, Usercentrics for Wix works directly with Wix. This ensures that scripts are properly blocked by communicating directly with Wix’s servers. This way, even scripts that are loaded as needed, are properly managed.

Also, services like Cookiebot CMP will identify trackers set, but the same tracker may be used by multiple components or apps on your Wix site. Thereby blocking that tracker will block every component/app using it, which could potentially break the app unexpectedly. Usercentrics for Wix will coordinate blocking with Wix to ensure only trackers from a category not given consent to will be blocked to avoid unintentionally blocking or breaking components/apps.
