CSV format reference

The CSV export of a compliance report provides detailed information about the compliance status of a given website. The CSV export can be generated in the Didomi console. The CSV file will include all information for the report period.

Download the results of your report

After running the compliance report there are 2 CSV files that the user can download: trackers and vendors. To do so follow the next steps:

1. Click on the Compliance Report section on the left menu.

2. Click on the 3 dots button that appear next to the report that you want to export. This will open a dropdown where the user has 2 export options: Download Vendors CSV and Download Trackers CSV

3. Click on the item you would like to download

4. Your report is automatically exported in an CSV file.

If you desire to do the same thing for a previous report, navigate to the details of the report. From the "Pick a report" dropdown select the report you would like to export. After the report has loaded, click on the 3 dots button in the header and select the export type you wish to download.

*What is a tracking tag?

What we call a tracking tag is an HTTP request that is used by a vendor for tracking/targeting purposes. For instance, we try to identify all the requests that adblockers would block. There is no exact definition of what constitutes a tag and there is surely no perfect way to identify them.

We do our best to classify requests as tags when possible to get an estimate of how many tags are embedded on webpages. We use rules like: the format of the HTTP response (image, JavaScript), the size of the response, the query-string parameters, the domain, etc.
