Snowplow Event Pipeline Integration Guide

Deploy Consent Shield AI to Snowplow Event Pipeline with automated pre-consent tracker interception, California CIPA wiretap protection, and zero data loss.

1. Overview & Technical Protocol​

  • Category: Tag Managers & Cloud
  • Protocol: Snowplow API: Ready
  • Scope: Gating real-time streaming pipelines of click events.
  • Consent Gating: Strict opt-in blocking for EU/ePrivacy; automated GPC / California opt-out enforcement for US states.

2. Step-by-Step Installation & Runbook​

Step 01: Embed Universal Script Interceptor​

Inject the Consent Shield AI defense tag into the <head> of your Snowplow Event Pipeline environment before vendor trackers initialize:

<!-- Consent Shield Universal Interceptor -->
<script
  src="https://app.consentshieldai.com/shield.js"
  data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"
  data-auto-block="true"
  data-gpc-enforce="true"
  async>
</script>

Step 02: Event Forwarding & Webhook Sync​

Listen for live consent updates or configure server-side webhooks for Snowplow Event Pipeline:

window.addEventListener("consentshield:consent_changed", function(e) {
  var consent = e.detail;
  console.log("[ConsentShield] Syncing updated preferences to Snowplow Event Pipeline:", consent);
});

Step 03: Verification & Network Audit​

  1. Open browser Developer Tools (F12 &rarr; Network).
  2. Filter outgoing requests by snowplow-pipeline.
  3. Verify that zero unconsented payloads fire prior to visitor affirmation.

3. Cryptographic Ledger & Audit Trail​

All consent signals for this integration are recorded to the Consent Shield Cryptographic Ledger, providing tamper-proof evidence against statutory wiretap claims (CIPA § 631) and regulatory enforcement actions.
