Adding the Veracity Tag directly

The code should be placed on every page you wish to track. We recommend adding the tag to your website footer, just before the closing /body tag.

<script type="text/javascript">
window.veracity = window.bwai = {"formIntegration":false}; (function(a, d, w){var h= d.getElementsByTagName(a[0])[0];for(let i=0;i<a[3].length;i++){var s= d.createElement(a[1]);s.type=a[2]; s.src= a[3][i].c;s.setAttribute("integrity", a[3][i].i);s.setAttribute("crossorigin", "anonymous");h.appendChild(s);}})(['head', 'script', 'text/javascript', [{"i":'sha512-RZaUPcYG+YVW5gmPp0sxoO+dxSsQeNkwMxGlRIkEbZZhPgYqqzCIW6HD8j7SGFwUgPkzVB42NhAlYUdkx9Y6XQ==',"c":'//script.platform.veracitytrustnetwork.com/loader/index.js'}, {"i":'sha512-13GUu5vadQ2mQwPDwj2jREx1SnYNp0dg5UoI3RN+8Vo+AGFMnmmibbqC4XKnkxHpyK45GtYA2tPzuQJQQHvGgg==',"c":'//script.thisisbeacon.com/BLoader/1.1/index.js'}]], document, window) </script>

Form tracking: GDPR Compliance

If you would like us to capture form data, which may improve our ability to monitor goals related to form fills, change window.bwai = {"formIntegration":false}; to be window.bwai = {"formIntegration":true}; in the script.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager

*Google Tag Manager and Ad Blockers: Usually, the default settings of ad blockers won’t affect Google Tag Manager. Ad blockers will only block ads on the page that the user visits, but as users can adjust settings for ad blockers to remove any tracking scripts, that will also disable the Veracity tag.

With that in mind, we do not recommend deploying the Veracity tag through GTM unless you do not have access to the website admin. We instead recommend deploying the tag directly into your website as per the Direct install tab.

Go to Google Tag Manager and log in to your account or create a new one.

  1. Create a New Tag
  2. On the next page, name the new tag Veracity tag
  3. Click Tag Configuration,  and from the sidebar choose tag type Custom HTML Tag
  4. Paste in the Veracity tag from below
<script type="text/javascript">
window.veracity = window.bwai = {"formIntegration":false}; (function(a, d, w){var h= d.getElementsByTagName(a[0])[0];for(var bwaii=0;bwaii<a[3].length;bwaii++){var s= d.createElement(a[1]);s.type=a[2]; s.src= a[3][bwaii].c;s.setAttribute("integrity", a[3][bwaii].i);s.setAttribute("crossorigin", "anonymous");h.appendChild(s);}})(['head', 'script', 'text/javascript', [{"i":'sha512-RZaUPcYG+YVW5gmPp0sxoO+dxSsQeNkwMxGlRIkEbZZhPgYqqzCIW6HD8j7SGFwUgPkzVB42NhAlYUdkx9Y6XQ==',"c":'//script.platform.veracitytrustnetwork.com/loader/index.js'}, {"i":'sha512-13GUu5vadQ2mQwPDwj2jREx1SnYNp0dg5UoI3RN+8Vo+AGFMnmmibbqC4XKnkxHpyK45GtYA2tPzuQJQQHvGgg==',"c":'//script.thisisbeacon.com/BLoader/1.1/index.js'}]], document, window) </script>

Optional form tracking GDPR Compliance settings
