# Pirsch

The c15t pirsch helper loads Pirsch Analytics only after visitors allow measurement in Inth. It also starts custom event bindings when consent comes after the page loads.

## Key facts

- **Tool:** Pirsch
- **Category:** Analytics
- **Consent categories:** Measurement
- **Setup method:** c15t package
- **Package:** @c15t/integrations

Load Pirsch Analytics only after visitors allow measurement. Custom events still bind when consent comes after the page loads.

Inth keeps the consent record of each choice, with the visitor’s country and the policy that applied.

## Before you start

You need an Inth project that connects to your app, c15t in that app and the identification code from your Pirsch installation snippet.

New to c15t? Complete the quickstart for your framework first. Keep its Inth endpoint, policy, styles and consent UI.

## How consent works with Pirsch

The c15t pirsch helper loads neither pa.js nor pirsch-extended.js before measurement has permission. It sends no consent signal to Pirsch.

Pirsch starts its custom event bindings from a DOMContentLoaded listener. That event usually fires before a visitor accepts. When the script loads on a page that is already parsed, the helper calls window.pirschInit() so the bindings still start.

Set extended to true to load pirsch-extended.js instead of pa.js.

## Installation

Pirsch has one load mode in c15t. The helper waits for measurement permission.

### Wait for permission

No request goes to Pirsch until the visitor accepts measurement. On withdrawal, c15t removes the script and reloads the page.

```ts
pirsch({ identificationCode })
```

An opt-out policy or no policy gives optional categories permission before a choice. Then Pirsch loads on the first page. This guide uses an opt-in policy.

## Setup steps

#### Install the integration package

Add the helpers next to c15t. An import alone does not start the Pirsch script.

```
pnpm add @c15t/integrations
```

#### Add your identification code

The helper sends the code to the script as data-code. It sets the element ID to pianjs, which Pirsch uses to find its script.

```
import { pirsch } from '@c15t/integrations/pirsch';

export const scripts = [
  pirsch({ identificationCode: 'YOUR_IDENTIFICATION_CODE' }),
];
```

An empty code logs an error, and the script does not load.

### Register it with your existing setup

#### Next.js

Add scripts to c15t.config.ts, next to next.config.ts. Keep the rest of your config, such as mode, in the same call. App Router, Pages Router and static export read the same file.

```
import { defineConsentConfig } from 'c15t/next';
import { scripts } from './src/consent-scripts';

export default defineConsentConfig({ scripts });
```

#### TanStack Start

Pass scripts to the ConsentRoot in your root route. Import helpers in the route module, not in a server function: script configurations carry callbacks.

```
import { scripts } from '../consent-scripts';

<ConsentRoot state={consent} scripts={scripts}>
```

#### React

Add scripts to the options of your ConsentProvider, next to mode. Keep the banner, dialog and preferences link inside the provider.

```
import { scripts } from './consent-scripts';

<ConsentProvider options={{ mode, scripts }}>
```

#### Nuxt

Register scripts under the c15t key in app.config.ts. Keep them out of nuxt.config.ts, which reaches the browser as JSON and drops the helper callbacks.

```
import { scripts } from '../src/consent-scripts';

export default defineAppConfig({
  c15t: { scripts },
});
```

#### Vue

Pass scripts to the c15tVue plugin call you have now. The plugin starts one script loader when the app mounts.

```
import { c15tVue, manifest } from 'c15t/vue/vue-plugin';
import { scripts } from './consent-scripts';

app.use(c15tVue, {
  mode: manifest(),
  scripts,
});
```

#### Astro

Add scripts to the client entrypoint, which the integration finds on its own. Keep helpers out of astro.config.mjs: its options are serialized into the page.

```
import type { C15tClientOptionsExtension } from 'c15t/astro';
import { scripts } from './consent-scripts';

export default { scripts } satisfies C15tClientOptionsExtension;
```

#### Svelte

Pass scripts as a prop to the ConsentProvider you have now. The provider owns the loader and disposes it on unmount.

```
<script lang="ts">
  import { ConsentProvider, manifest } from 'c15t/svelte';
  import { scripts } from './consent-scripts';
</script>

<ConsentProvider mode={manifest()} {scripts}>
  <!-- Your app and consent UI -->
</ConsentProvider>
```

#### SvelteKit

Add scripts to the ConsentRoot in the root layout. Import helpers in the layout component, not in +layout.server.ts: a server load cannot send functions to the browser.

```
<script lang="ts">
  import { ConsentRoot } from 'c15t/svelte';
  import { scripts } from '../consent-scripts';

  let { children, data } = $props();
</script>

<ConsentRoot state={data.consent} {scripts}>
  {@render children()}
</ConsentRoot>
```

#### HTML: Paste the vendor’s snippet behind consent

The helpers need a bundler. On a page with the c15t script tag, paste the vendor’s own snippet instead and keep it inert until visitors allow its category. Helper options, such as loadMode, do not apply.

```
<script type="text/plain" data-c15t-category="measurement">
  // The vendor's snippet, unchanged
</script>
```

#### JavaScript

Pass scripts to init() from @c15t/browser, next to your mode. With createConsentRuntime, pass scripts to it instead.

```
import { init, manifest } from '@c15t/browser';
import { scripts } from './consent-scripts';

const consent = init({
  mode: manifest(),
  scripts,
});
```

Remove the old Pirsch snippet, so the script loads only through c15t. If you already have a scripts array, add the helper to it.

## Verify your setup

Use a private window with an opt-in policy. Open DevTools Network and filter by pirsch. Then test the three states.

- **Before a choice**: No request goes to api.pirsch.io. Click Reject and reload. There is still no request.

- **After you allow measurement**: pa.js loads without a page reload. The #pianjs element has your data-code. Send a custom event and make sure that its request goes out.

- **After you withdraw measurement**: Save your choice. c15t reloads the page. The new page sends no request to Pirsch.

If your code calls window.pirsch directly, check measurement permission before each call.
