What is a Paywall solution?

Paywall is a digital system that allows publishers to manage access to content by putting pay-based limitations in place to prevent users from viewing website content without a paid subscription.

Why implement a Paywall Integration?

Paywall integration allows publishers to give users a choice to whether consent to personalized advertising or to sign up for a pay-based subscription. When Paywall Integration is enabled, users who do not consent to personalized advertising are directed to a subscription page to log in or signup for a subscription plan.

3. Implement the following codes on your website:

In order to disable the Consent dialog for users who are already subscribed, call the following Javascript method: 

<script>
  window.__lxG__consent__ = window.__lxG__consent__ || {};
  window.__lxG__consent__.messageControl = false;
</script>

Notice that __lxG__consent__.messageControl can take the following values:

  • Boolean (true/false): A simple flag that determines whether to display the popup. It can be set server-side during page generation or executed via IIFE.
  • Function returning boolean: A synchronous function that must return a boolean when executed. The CCT will call this function when checking whether to display the popup.
<script>
    window.__lxG__consent__ = window.__lxG__consent__ || {};
    window.__lxG__consent__.messageControl = function () {
        if (/* Your condition to show consent dialog */) {
            return true;  // Show consent dialog
        } else {
            return false; // Don't show consent dialog
        }
    };
</script>
  • promise: A promise that is fulfilled or rejected depending on whether the popup should be displayed.
  • Function returning promise: A function that must return a promise, which will be fulfilled or rejected depending on whether the popup should be displayed.

When the CCT logic identifies that the messageControl attribute has been defined, it is utilized to determine whether the popup should be displayed to the user or not. If the answer is affirmative, regular CCT checks are carried out (such as whether consent has already been given, the date of consent, and so on) to arrive at a final decision. Therefore, even if the messageControl attribute results in true, the popup may not be displayed.

If the user is not given a chance to consent (messageControl results into false) and there is no previous consent detected, CCT logic will report the consent state as not determined via TCF v2 API and that may break 3rd party code functionality
