To profile website visitors , and, more broadly, to collect and process personal data about them, you need their consent. Consent means that your visitors freely opt in to data processing, have an ongoing control over how you process their data, and have an opportunity to withdraw their consent at any time. Providing the visitors with a clear opt-in/opt-out option with an explanation of how their data will be used is a good way to seek consent.

You can show content only to visitors who have opted in, only to visitors who have opted out, or to all visitors irrespective of their profiling choice. Before you can define the profiling setting for individual modificationsimplement selective profiling with modifications, however, you must enable selective profiling for the site.

Selective profiling only affects modifications. If you use other profiling-related items, such as campaigns, conversion definitions, or custom actions on your site, you must disable them manually (unless you have consent from your site visitors , or another lawful basis for processing their personal data). |

module to your site's custom script. - Create a UI for the visitor to give their consent or refuse profiling. Depending on your site, this can be a simple pop-up, a banner, or an option on a registered visitor's profile settingsMake sure you've enabled selective profiling for the site.
- Implement a UI component, such as a banner or a pop-up, for registering the visitor's consent (or refusal).
- When the visitor makes a choice to accept or refuse profiling, call the appropriate Frosmo Core function:
frosmo.easy.profile.enable()
: Enable profiling for the visitor.frosmo.easy.profile.disable()
: Disable profiling for the visitor.

Managing selective profiling for modifications
The Frosmo Control Panel provides When selective profiling is enabled for a site, the Frosmo Platform automatically flags each modification on the site with one of the following profiling settings for a modificationstates:
- Opt inAll: The modification is shown to the segments and target groups defined in the modification display options. Use this setting to implement targeted content based on visitor profiling.Opt outto both visitors who have consented to profiling and visitors who have refused profiling. The modification cannot use any profiling features.
- Opt in: The modification is shown to visitors who have refused consented to profiling. You cannot The modification can use any profiling features in the modification, such as segmentation or target groups. Use this setting to implement dedicated or alternative content for visitors who have refused profiling.All
- Opt out: The modification is shown to both segmented visitors and visitors who have refused profiling. You The modification cannot use any profiling features in the modification, such as segmentation or target groups. Use this setting to implement generic UI improvements and bug fixes.
Note |

When you define the profiling setting of a modification as Opt out or All, you can only have one variation for the modification, and you cannot use comparison groups with the modification. |
The following table shows the relationship between the visitor's profiling choice on the site and the modification profiling settings.

...
Which state the platform assigns to a modification depends on the modification case and, if applicable, the modification's profiling setting.
Table: Profiling state based on modification case and profiling setting
Profiling state | Modification case | Profiling setting |
---|---|---|
All | Selective profiling | All |
Opt in | A/B test Multi-armed bandit Personalization | N/A |
Opt out | Selective profiling | No profiling |
The following table shows how a visitor's profiling choice (leftmost column) and the profiling state of a modification (top row) together determine whether the platform shows the modification to the visitor. For example, if the visitor has opted out, the platform will only show them modifications whose profiling state is All or Opt out, while modifications whose state is Opt in are hidden from the visitor.

Defining the profiling setting for a modification
To define the profiling setting for a modification:
- In the Control Panel, select Modifications > Overview.
- In the modifications list, find the modification whose profiling setting you want to define.
- Click the modification name to open the modification settings.
- Select Display Options.
In the Profiling section, select the profiling setting you want.
- Click Save.
Viewing the modification profiling settings
When selective profiling is enabled for a site, all the modifications on the site are labelled based on the profiling settings defined for them.
To view the profiling setting of a modification, in the Frosmo Control Panel, select Modifications > Overview. You can see a status label for each modification.

Example: Displaying a modification to visitors who have refused profiling
To display a modification to visitors who have refused profilingCreate your profiling-managed modifications based on who you want to target and with what type of content:
If you want to implement targeted content for segmented or otherwise profiled visitors, create a modification using one of the following cases:
- A/B test
- Multi-armed bandit
- Personalization
For more information about creating the modification, see Creating and editing a modification.
If you want to implement dedicated or alternative content for visitors who have opted out, create a modification using the Selective profiling case, and set the profiling setting to No profiling.
For more information about creating the modification, see Creating a modification for selective profiling.
If you want to implement generic content, such as UI improvements and bug fixes, for all visitors irrespective of their profiling choices, create a modification using the Selective profiling case, and set the profiling setting to All.
For more information about creating the modification, see Creating a modification for selective profiling.

Selective profiling modifications can only have a single variation, and you cannot use the comparison group with these modifications. |
Creating a modification for selective profiling
To create a modification using the Selective profiling case:
- In the Control Panel, select Modifications > Overview.
- In the modifications list, find the modification whose profiling setting you want to define.
- Click the modification name to open the modification settings.
- Select Display Options.
In the Profiling section, select Opt out.
As a result, the following display options are disabled:
- Segments
- Segment combination
- Target groups Target group combinationClick Create modification.
Enter a descriptive name for the modification, select Selective profiling as the modification case, and click Create.
- Define the profiling setting for the modification:
If you want to target only non-profiled visitors, select No profiling. Only visitors whose profiling choice is Opt out, or who have yet to make their choice, will see the modification.
If you want to target all visitors irrespective of their profiling choices, or lack thereof, select All.
Define the placement, content, and other modification settings. For more information, see Creating and editing a modification.
Note The modification has a single variation whose content you can define. You cannot remove the variation or add additional variations, and you cannot use the comparison group with the modification.
Visitor session sourcesNote The following profiling-related settings are disabled in the modification:
- Segments
- In advanced settings:
- Display interval
- Max. displays per visitor
if you're- Target groups
In addition,
shownavoid using states (custom actions used to determine whether the modification is
, you must be careful not to use them in a way thatdisplayed to visitors)
in the modification. Using a visitor's state (for example, whether the visitor is logged in) to determine when to display modifications can be considered profiling.
Note If you have segments, target groups, or other profiling-related display options defined for the modification, and you define the profiling setting as Opt out or All, the profiling-related display options are hidden. You can revert back to the original display options by changing the profiling setting back to Opt in. However, once you save the modification with the profiling setting defined as Opt out or All, the profiling-related display options are permanently removed.
Similarly, if there is a comparison group created for the modification, and you define the profiling setting as Opt out or All, the comparison group is hidden. You can revert back by changing the profiling setting back to Opt in. However, once you save the modification with the profiling setting defined as Opt out or All, the comparison group is permanently removed.
Click Save.
A modification with the profiling setting defined as Opt out or All can only have one variation. Upon saving, if your modification has more than one variation, you are prompted to select which one to keep.
You have configured the modification so that it's only displayed to visitors who have refused profiling.
