Didomi Integration

Category: CMP (Consent Management Platform) Status: Production Type: Reverse Proxy for Consent Management

Overview

The Didomi integration enables first-party serving of Didomi's consent management platform (CMP) through Trusted Server. By proxying Didomi's SDK and API through your domain, you maintain first-party context while ensuring GDPR/TCF 2.2 compliance.

What is Didomi?

Didomi is a Consent Management Platform that helps publishers comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations by managing user consent for data collection and processing.

Key Capabilities:

TCF 2.2 (Transparency & Consent Framework) compliance
Custom consent notices and preferences
Vendor management
Consent analytics and reporting
Multi-regulation support (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD)

How It Works

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Browser Request                                 │
│  GET /integrations/didomi/consent/loader.js      │
│  ↓                                               │
│  Trusted Server (First-Party Domain)             │
│  ↓                                               │
│  Proxy to Didomi SDK Origin                      │
│  https://sdk.privacy-center.org/loader.js        │
│  ↓                                               │
│  Return SDK (appears first-party to browser)     │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Benefits:

Didomi SDK loads from your domain (not privacy-center.org)
First-party cookies for consent storage
Improved tracking prevention compatibility
Better page load performance

Configuration

Add Didomi configuration to trusted-server.toml:

toml

[integrations.didomi]
enabled = true
sdk_origin = "https://sdk.privacy-center.org"
api_origin = "https://api.privacy-center.org"

Configuration Options

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`enabled`	boolean	No	`false`	Enable/disable integration
`sdk_origin`	string	Yes	`https://sdk.privacy-center.org`	Didomi SDK backend URL
`api_origin`	string	Yes	`https://api.privacy-center.org`	Didomi API backend URL

Environment Variables

bash

TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__DIDOMI__ENABLED=true
TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__DIDOMI__SDK_ORIGIN=https://sdk.privacy-center.org
TRUSTED_SERVER__INTEGRATIONS__DIDOMI__API_ORIGIN=https://api.privacy-center.org

Endpoints

SDK Proxy

Pattern: /integrations/didomi/consent/* (except /api/*)

Proxies Didomi SDK resources through first-party domain.

Example:

Original: https://sdk.privacy-center.org/24cd1234/loader.js
Proxied:  https://your-domain.com/integrations/didomi/consent/24cd1234/loader.js

Headers Forwarded:

User-Agent
Accept
Accept-Language
Accept-Encoding
Referer
Origin
Authorization

Geo Headers (SDK only):

X-Geo-Country ← FastlyGeo-CountryCode
X-Geo-Region ← FastlyGeo-Region
CloudFront-Viewer-Country ← FastlyGeo-CountryCode

CORS Headers (added to SDK responses):

http

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS

API Proxy

Pattern: /integrations/didomi/consent/api/*

Proxies Didomi API requests (consent events, user preferences, etc.).

Example:

Original: https://api.privacy-center.org/v1/events
Proxied:  https://your-domain.com/integrations/didomi/consent/api/v1/events

Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS

Note: API requests do NOT receive CORS headers (handled by Didomi API).

Integration with Trusted Server

Didomi consent status is checked before:

Generating synthetic IDs
Syncing with identity partners (Lockr)
Activating tracking pixels
Sharing data with third parties

rust

// Example consent check
if !has_didomi_consent(&request, Purpose::Tracking) {
    return reject_tracking();
}

TCF 2.2 Support

Didomi integration supports IAB's Transparency & Consent Framework 2.2:

TCF consent strings (TC strings)
Vendor consent validation
Purpose consent enforcement
Special feature consent

Use Cases

Problem: Third-party consent scripts blocked by tracking prevention.

Solution: Serve Didomi SDK from your domain via Trusted Server proxy.

Benefit: Consent notice loads reliably, compliance maintained.

Problem: Different consent requirements per region (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD).

Solution: Didomi provides region-specific consent flows, Trusted Server forwards geo data.

Benefit: Automatic compliance with regional privacy laws.

Problem: Need to enforce consent before activating analytics/advertising.

Solution: Check Didomi consent status in Trusted Server before data processing.

Benefit: Provable compliance, reduced regulatory risk.

Implementation

The Didomi integration is implemented in crates/common/src/integrations/didomi.rs.

Key Components

Backend Selection (line 74-80):

rust

fn backend_for_path(&self, consent_path: &str) -> DidomiBackend {
    if consent_path.starts_with("/api/") {
        DidomiBackend::Api  // Route to API origin
    } else {
        DidomiBackend::Sdk  // Route to SDK origin
    }
}

Header Forwarding (line 100-127):

Forwards standard HTTP headers
Adds geo headers for SDK requests
Preserves client IP via X-Forwarded-For

CORS Management (line 143-153):

Adds CORS headers to SDK responses
Skips CORS for API requests (Didomi API handles it)

Frontend Integration

Load Didomi SDK

Replace your direct Didomi SDK reference with the proxied version:

html

<!-- ❌ Old (third-party) -->
<script src="https://sdk.privacy-center.org/24cd1234/loader.js"></script>

<!-- ✅ New (first-party via Trusted Server) -->
<script src="/integrations/didomi/consent/24cd1234/loader.js"></script>

Use Didomi's standard JavaScript API:

javascript

// Wait for Didomi to load
window.didomiOnReady = window.didomiOnReady || []
window.didomiOnReady.push(function (Didomi) {
  // Check consent for specific purpose
  if (Didomi.getUserStatus().purposes.consent.enabled.includes('cookies')) {
    // User consented to cookies
    initializeAnalytics()
  }

  // Listen for consent changes
  Didomi.on('consent.changed', function () {
    console.log('Consent status changed')
  })
})

Best Practices

1. Configure Didomi ID

Ensure your Didomi organization ID is in the SDK path:

html

<script src="/integrations/didomi/consent/{YOUR_DIDOMI_ID}/loader.js"></script>

2. Preconnect to Proxy

Add DNS preconnect for faster loading:

html

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://your-domain.com" />
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="https://your-domain.com" />

3. Cache SDK Responses

Configure caching headers for Didomi SDK:

http

Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600

Track consent acceptance/rejection rates:

Low acceptance → Review consent notice clarity
Regional variations → Adjust messaging
Trend analysis → Optimize user experience

Troubleshooting

Didomi SDK Not Loading

Symptoms:

Consent notice doesn't appear
Console errors about missing Didomi

Solutions:

Verify /integrations/didomi/consent/ path is correct
Check sdk_origin configuration
Ensure Didomi ID in script path is valid
Inspect network tab for 404/403 errors

CORS Errors

Symptoms:

Browser console shows CORS errors
SDK requests blocked

Solutions:

Verify integration adds CORS headers for SDK requests
Check Access-Control-Allow-Origin is present
Ensure requests go through proxy (not directly to Didomi)

API Requests Failing

Symptoms:

Consent events not recording
Preference updates failing

Solutions:

Check /integrations/didomi/consent/api/* routing
Verify api_origin configuration
Review Authorization headers are forwarded
Inspect Didomi API credentials

Performance

Typical Latency

SDK load: 100-200ms (first load)
Cached SDK: <50ms
API calls: 50-150ms
Total overhead: ~20ms (proxy layer)

Optimization

Enable HTTP/2 for multiplexing
Use CDN caching for SDK files
Implement service worker for offline consent
Lazy-load consent notice

Security

Content Security Policy

Add Didomi to your CSP:

http

Content-Security-Policy:
  script-src 'self' /integrations/didomi/;
  connect-src 'self' /integrations/didomi/;
  frame-src 'self' /integrations/didomi/;

Data Privacy

Didomi consent data stays first-party
No PII shared without consent
Consent strings stored locally
User can withdraw consent anytime
