Custom Privacy Policy Link for Germany
This page demonstrates a standard Osano Cookie Consent configuration, except that users in Germany (DE) will see a custom privacy policy link. All other users see the default Osano privacy policy link. This customization uses the Osano JavaScript API to modify privacy policy links.
To implement this, add the following script after your Osano.js script tag:
<script>
window.Osano?.cm?.addEventListener('osano-cm-initialized', () => {
if (window.Osano?.cm?.jurisdiction?.startsWith('de-')) {
const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations, obs) => {
const privacyLink = document.querySelector('.osano-cm-storage-policy.osano-cm-content__link.osano-cm-link');
if (privacyLink && privacyLink.href.includes('/policy')) {
privacyLink.href = 'https://google.com';
privacyLink.textContent = 'Privacy Policy';
obs.disconnect();
}
});
observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
}
});
</script>

Best Practices
When implementing custom privacy policy link replacement, consider these important guidelines:
- Legal Compliance: Ensure your custom privacy policy URL complies with applicable privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
- URL Validation: Always use complete URLs (including https://) to avoid relative path issues
- Testing: Test your implementation across different browsers, devices, and jurisdictions
- Performance: The script uses MutationObserver efficiently to avoid performance issues
- Fallbacks: The script includes proper error handling and fallbacks
- Documentation: Keep your customization code well-documented for future maintenance
- Updates: Regularly review and update your custom links as your privacy practices evolve
- Accessibility: Ensure your custom links maintain proper accessibility attributes
