Connect Evarist to your AI assistant

Then — whichever assistant you used

When you connect, your assistant sends you to Evarist. Enter your work email — we send a magic link (no password); click it to sign in. Then read and accept Evarist's Terms and Privacy Policy. Your assistant is now connected to Evarist.

Consent mode (optional)

By default the snippet sets its first-party analytics cookies as soon as it loads. If your compliance posture requires no cookies before consent, switch on consent mode: Evarist still counts every visitor from their first page, but keeps its identifiers in per-tab session storage — zero cookies — until you signal that the visitor consented. Add one line inside your snippet, before the loader:

<script>
window.evarist=window.evarist||function(){(window.evarist.q=window.evarist.q||[]).push(arguments)};
evarist('consent','pending');   // ← the one added line
/* …the rest of your Evarist snippet, unchanged… */
</script>

Then, from your cookie banner's callbacks, signal the visitor's choice:

evarist('consent', { analytics: true });   // consented — switch to cookies, keep the same visit
evarist('consent', { analytics: false });  // declined or withdrawn — remove Evarist's cookies

Consent is remembered: once granted, later pages start in cookie mode on their own. On Shopify storefronts there is nothing to wire — Evarist reads Shopify's own Customer Privacy signal and reacts to the consent banner automatically.

Recipes for popular consent tools (category names vary per setup — map your analytics category, and check your tool's current docs):

// Cookiebot
window.addEventListener('CookiebotOnAccept', function () {
  if (Cookiebot.consent.statistics) evarist('consent', { analytics: true });
});
window.addEventListener('CookiebotOnDecline', function () {
  evarist('consent', { analytics: false });
});

// OneTrust (C0002 is the default "Performance" group — use your own group id)
function OptanonWrapper() {
  var on = (',' + (window.OnetrustActiveGroups || '') + ',').indexOf(',C0002,') !== -1;
  evarist('consent', { analytics: on });
}

// Axeptio (use the vendor/step names from your project)
window._axcb = window._axcb || [];
window._axcb.push(function (axeptio) {
  axeptio.on('cookies:complete', function (choices) {
    evarist('consent', { analytics: !!choices.analytics });
  });
});

// Any other CMP: call the two lines above from its accept / decline callbacks.

Trade-off to know: until a visitor consents, their identity is per-tab and per-visit — pageviews and sessions stay accurate, but a returning non-consented visitor counts as new. That's the conservative behavior by design.

Headless Shopify storefronts

Running Shopify behind a custom frontend instead of the Online Store (Hydrogen, or your own React/Next.js site)? A theme-embed toggle can't reach those pages, so set up tracking manually with the two steps below — this works today, independent of the Shopify app.

mutation cartAttributesUpdate($cartId: ID!, $attributes: [AttributeInput!]!) {
  cartAttributesUpdate(cartId: $cartId, attributes: $attributes) {
    cart { id }
    userErrors { field message }
  }
}

# variables
{
  "cartId": "YOUR_CART_ID",
  "attributes": [{ "key": "_evarist", "value": "VALUE_OF_THE_EVARIST_COOKIE" }]
}

Goals — tracked outcomes

A goal is a tagged event marked as an outcome — it fires a conversion whenever its click or URL trigger matches, and can carry an optional fixed revenue value. Goals show up in your data as conversions, distinct from behavioural signals. Ask Evarist to set one up ("Make my newsletter signup a goal" or "Create a goal for /thank-you page visits, worth €49"), or promote an existing event from your site's page under Websites. Keep one primary conversion — the outcome your headline numbers (conversion rate, "which traffic converts") count. The first goal you set becomes it automatically; change it anytime from your site's page or by asking. Tag the steps leading to that conversion (a "Book a demo" click, a pricing-page visit) as ordinary signals, not goals — so one conversion is counted once, not several times.
