Usercentrics is a global market leader in the field of consent management platforms (CMP). Usercentrics enables businesses to collect, manage and document user consents on their website.
Usercentrics makes the process of achieving full compliance with global privacy regulations easier, while at the same time facilitating high consent rates and supporting you in building trust with your end-customers.
In the following steps we will support you in setting up your Usercentrics CMP for your Jobiqo job board.
Suggested implementation steps:
Implementation step | Responsibility | Remarks / Please note: | |
1 |
Create Usercentrics setting ID and add it to your job board Jobiqo adds the CMP javascript library directly into your jobboard’s source code. It is automatically loaded with your individual settings ID. |
Jobiqo (In touch with Usercentrics) |
More info on this implementation method can be found in the official docs: usercentrics.com/knowledge-hub/direct-integration-usercentrics-script-website |
2 |
Disable required scripts All services/scripts used in your job board must intentionally be “broken”. This allows the Usercentrics script to re-enable them one by one once user consent is given. For disabling scripts, there are the following options:
|
Client /Jobiqo |
We may migrate a script from direct code embedding (2a) to Google Tag Manager (2b) since this provides more flexibility for future changes. Before doing this we would of course align with you first. As part of step 2 and 3a, we will help to identify services/scripts implemented by Jobiqo. However there may be further services, added by you / yourself or by your media agency (e.g. additional scripts via GTM or code snippets added as HTML page content). Usercentrics can easily be configured to ask for required consents, but adjusting Usercentrics and your own scripts is your responsibility and may add additional implementation costs. |
3 |
Adjust Usercentrics Your Usercentrics ID must be configured according to your needs:
|
Client | |
4 |
Add Service Descriptions (optional) A tag is added to your Cookie Policy / Data Protection Statement page so that Usercentrics can automatically insert and update its contents. |
Jobiqo |
For auto-inserting the service descriptions, the privacy policy page must be within Jobiqo (no external page).

Usercentric adjustment steps
Menu item | Explanation / to-dos | Remarks / Please note |
Configuration |
Setup: Add your Data Controller information and add your site URL to the Domain Settings. In Language Settings, add the Editable and Visible language(s). |
An overall step-by-step guide from Usercentrics can be found here. |
Service settings |
DPS Scanner: A Usercentrics feature which automatically helps identify 3rd party services on your site (see remark 1). Data Processing Services (DPS): Add DPS either from the pre-existing service library maintained by UC or if your service is not found, add it as a Custom DPS (see remark 2). Categories: Each DPS can be added to 3 predefined categories (see remark 3): Essential: Required core functions, site can’t run without these – Opt-out not possible Functional: Important services, required to run important functions of the site – Opt-out possible Marketing: Services not required, adds complementary features/functions – Opt-out possible |
Remark 1: Please view the next slide for a list of all default services in Jobiqo. Please inform your PM or CSM of any additional services that are required for your site. More details on how to use the DPS Scanner can be found here – the DPS scanner only provides a suggestion of the DPS configuration.
Remark 2: All information on a custom DPS needs to be manually added and maintained/updated by you. Remark 3: More categories can be added or existing categories can be re-named, but we recommend following the default configuration. |
Appearance |
Layout: Change the layout, different layers as well as the Privacy Trigger button. Styling: Adapt the colours and fonts of the CMP. |
More information on how to change the appearance of your Usercentrics CMP can be found here. |

*2: Any non-standard service that needs to be configured might incur additional costs.
Please advise with your Project Manager or Customer Success Manager.
Why is Google Maps required?
Jobiqo is deeply integrated with Google Maps. One of its most important functions is retrieving the suggested locations on the job search field:
Consequence: Disabling Google Maps would break this feature and consequently make the whole job board widely unusable.
Recommendation: Since the Google Maps Script is a technical feature and does not set any cookies on the user’s device, we recommend listing this service as “essential”, meaning it cannot be disabled. Upon client request, the Google Maps service can be listed as a Functional.
