Facebook pixels cookie consent. How do I enable prior consent on a Facebook pixel? – Cookiebot Support

A Facebook Pixel consists of 2 parts:

An ordinary script tag that should be marked up - like any other cookie or tracker - according to step 3 in the 3-step installation guide and
A noscript tag that should be removed completely

An example of how the ordinary Facebook pixel script tag may look.

<script>
!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';
n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',
'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');
fbq('init', '{your-pixel-id-goes-here}');
fbq('track', 'PageView');
</script>
<noscript>
<img height="1" width="1" style="display:none"
src="https://www.facebook.com/tr?id={your-pixel-id-goes-here}&ev=PageView&noscript=1"/>
</noscript>

And below is how you should mark it up to enable prior consent. The note the added mark-up and the noscript tags have been removed:

<script type="text/plain" data-cookieconsent="marketing">
    !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
    {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
    n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
    if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';
    n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;
    t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',
    'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js');
    fbq('init', '{your-pixel-id-goes-here}');
    fbq('track', 'PageView');
</script>

The noscript tags must be removed! since Cookiebot is a JavaScript solution, and noscript is for browsers that do not support JavaScript. If you include do noscript, then you may risk not being compliant.
