When using the Web app for digital signage to display a website, you may experience the website showing a request for accepting cookies. As Airtame does not have an automatic way of accepting or declining the website cookie, this request stays on the website, sometimes removing focus or even covering up parts of the website.
The cookie request for Airtame.com
When you own the affected website
Despite no official Airtame support for accepting cookies, there is one workaround to automatically accept or hide this request.
If the visited website is owned by you, you can add a script to the site, to automatically interact with the cookie request. This is done by looking at the user agent from the visiting browser.
When an Airtame screen is loading a website, it uses a user agent called "Airtame". This means a simple JavaScript can be inserted when the page is loaded, and automatically interacts with the cookie request, if Airtame is the user agent:
if (navigator.userAgent.includes("Airtame")) {
// Custom JS to accept or hide the cookies request.
// This script will depend on the exact format of the cookie request.
}
When you do not own the affected website
If you are not the owner of the website, there is currently no way to automatically hide the cookie request.
Should you require this or any other feature, please let us know from our public roadmap. Here you can see what is currently being planned for new features as well as request other features to be added.
