window.analytics.user().traits() vs tracking-preferences document.cookie #311

Closed j-quelly closed 1 year ago

j-quelly commented 1 year ago

When I explicitly set my tracking preferences in the EU window.analytics.user().traits() returns my preferences as expected.

However, when I implicitly consent to all tracking, my preferences are not saved to window.analytics.user().traits() instead they're saved to a tracking-preferences cookie. I'm curious why the consent manager does not mutate the object returned from window.analytics.user().traits()?

Does segment analytics v2 parse the tracking-preferences cookie in addition to the window.analytics.user().traits()?
