Common mistakes

  • 1Loading the Drift widget with behavioural tracking enabled before obtaining consent
  • 2Not disclosing automated chatbot processing and data collection in the privacy notice
  • 3Storing conversation transcripts containing personal data without defining retention periods

Compliance considerations

Embeds a persistent chat widget that collects visitor identity, browsing behaviour, and conversation history. The widget itself loads JavaScript and may set cookies before user interaction. Consent approach depends on implementation — if the chat widget tracks behaviour before initiation, analytics or functional consent is required.
