This guide explains how to integrate the Openli cookie widget on a site that is hosted by HubSpot.
This integration is no longer actively supported or tested by Openli.

Requirements

  1. 1.
    A Openli cookie widget, with a published cookie policy, ready to install
  2. 2.
    A website hosted on HubSpot

Integrating Openli on a HubSpot-hosted site

HubSpot do not currently provide an adequate way for us to communicate consent status to their own platform, so you must activate HubSpot's built-in cookie-consent banner. Openli's cookie widget will then use this behind the scenes, supplementing our own consent management, and providing the best current level of integration with HubSpot.
HubSpot have a general guide to enabling their banner here, and your cookie-banner settings should look like this:
HubSpot's built-in cookie-consent banner, when used on its own, is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the GDPR and other similar privacy laws. Using Openli's cookie-consent widget helps to close this compliance gap.

Step 2: Add code to your site to integrate Openli and HubSpot

Add this code to the head (not the footer) of your site, following HubSpot's general guide:
<style>
/* Hide the HS cookie-banner.
It is controlled through the LM widget instead. */
#hs-eu-cookie-confirmation {
display: none !important;
}
</style>
<script>
// These will be set to true if the user has already consented when
// the events below are run.
var analyticsConsent = false;
var marketingConsent = false;
function handleConsent() {
// If the user accepts both analytics and
// marketing, HubSpot's cookies can be set.
if (analyticsConsent && marketingConsent) {
// Get a reference to the HubSpot cookie-banner's accept button.
acceptButton = document.querySelector("#hs-eu-confirmation-button");
// If the button exists (a decision was not already taken), click it.
acceptButton && acceptButton.click();
}
}
// Listen for acceptance of analytics consent.
window.addEventListener(
"legalmonster.cookie.analytics.accepted",
function() {
analyticsConsent = true;
handleConsent();
}
);
// Listen for acceptance of marketing consent.
window.addEventListener(
"legalmonster.cookie.marketing.accepted",
function() {
marketingConsent = true;
handleConsent();
}
);
// If either analytics or marketing consent is refused or revoked,
// trigger HubSpot's cookie-refusal method.
function refuseHubSpotCookies() {
// HubSpot documentation:
// https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/tracking_code_api/remove_cookies
var _hsp = window._hsp = window._hsp || [];
_hsp.push(["revokeCookieConsent"]);
}
// Listen for rejection of analytics consent.
window.addEventListener(
"legalmonster.cookie.analytics.rejected",
function() {
analyticsConsent = false;
refuseHubSpotCookies();
}
);
// Listen for rejection of marketing consent.
window.addEventListener(
"legalmonster.cookie.marketing.rejected",
function() {
marketingConsent = false;
refuseHubSpotCookies();
}
);
</script>
Because HubSpot provide only an "accept all"/"reject all" option for their cookies, consent must be given to analytics and marketing cookies before HubSpot's cookies can be enabled. We strongly recommend using the option in your Openli cookie widget to present an "Accept all" button to users, to make it simpler to opt in to the categories HubSpot use.
Add code like this, from your cookie-widget settings, to the footer (not the head, unlike before) of your site, following HubSpot's general guide again:
<script>
!function(){var i,e,t,s=window.legal=window.legal||[];if(s.SNIPPET_VERSION="3.0.0",i="https://widgets.legalmonster.com/v1/legal.js",!s.__VERSION__)if(s.invoked)window.console&&console.info&&console.info("legal.js: The initialisation snippet is included more than once on this page, and does not need to be.");else{for(s.invoked=!0,s.methods=["cookieConsent","document","ensureConsent","handleWidget","signup","user"],s.factory=function(t){return function(){var e=Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);return e.unshift(t),s.push(e),s}},e=0;e<s.methods.length;e++)t=s.methods[e],s[t]=s.factory(t);s.load=function(e,t){var n,o=document.createElement("script");o.setAttribute("data-legalmonster","sven"),o.type="text/javascript",o.async=!0,o.src=i,(n=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]).parentNode.insertBefore(o,n),s.__project=e,s.__loadOptions=t||{}},s.widget=function(e){s.__project||s.load(e.widgetPublicKey),s.handleWidget(e)}}}();
legal.widget({
type: "cookie",
widgetPublicKey: "...",
});
</script>
The approach used in the guide is very similar to HubSpot's own recommendation for integrating third-party cookie-consent solutions like Openli. We therefore expect HubSpot to continue to support it, but all changes they make are outside our control.
