Website integration

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to integrate the script into different technologies, including HTML, Next.js, WordPress, and Nuxt.

There are two ways of integrating your website to Cookie3:

Choosing the right technology​

We currently support connecting your website via a Cookie3 Script or Analytics Plugin (available on NPM)

Cookie3 Script​

The custom script is a small snippet of code that you can add to your website to connect it to Cookie3. It is best to use the custom script if:

• You are running a website, which is not a Single Page Application (SPA)

• You want as little overhead as possible

• You are not a developer

Installing the custom script is as easy as copying and pasting a snippet of code into your website.

Analytics Plugin​

The Analytics Plugin is a dedicated plugin that you can install on your website to connect it to Cookie3. It is best to use the Analytics Plugin if:

• You are running a Single Page Application (SPA)

• You want to leverage advanced tracking and analytics features

• You are a developer or possess some technical knowledge of your website's/app's technology

• You want to use the Analytics Plugin's advanced features, such as Custom Events

Website integration FAQ:

Is the Cookie3 Website Analytics safe?

Cookie3 is using data just for reporting and analytics - it’s not shared anywhere, and only you as a user will have access to it in the Cookie3 app.

Compared to Google Analytics, Cookie3 prioritizes privacy. The script can be set up to be cookieless, meaning it collects less user information than traditional website analytics tools.

Would you like to create custom shortened links?

Cookie3 goes beyond basic link shortening by offering support for custom domains. This feature enables you to brand your short links with your own domain name, increasing trust and engagement.

For example, instead of a generic short link, you can have a branded link like

http://yourbrand.ly/offer.

Key Benefits of Custom Domains:

• Enhanced Branding: Align your short links with your brand identity.

• Increased Trust: Custom domains look more trustworthy to users, encouraging more clicks.

• Streamlined Sharing: Short, branded links are easy to share across all platforms.

How to Get Started with Custom Domains

To start using the Cookie3 shortener with custom domains some preparations are required.

If you need support in any step contact with [e-mail] or your contact person in Cookie3.

DNS Changes
