Cookies with public forms

Hi there,
together with the public forms there will be cookies delivered - they seem to be first party by tapeapp.com.

  • _ga / _ga_XXXXXXXXXX – Google Analytics 4. First is the generic client ID, second is the property-specific session/container cookie (named after the measurement ID G-XXXXXXXXXX).
  • _gcl_au – Google Ads / Conversion Linker. Stores click IDs to attribute ad clicks to conversions on the site.
  • We believe we have also seen Intercom (?).

Given the regulation in EU / DE we can’t really use the forms this way in public. When I blocked the cookie, the form doesn’t load. If its technically required, we could maybe justify it. However for the own page its a 3rd party cookie - and by its names clearly not technically but marketing related (opt-in).

What do you recommend?

(A scripted HTML form with correct CORS settings might be the future. Cookies then come from the domain, where the form has been embedded into.)
