Use your own domain
A default URL is assigned to your privacy center, for example:
https://company-name.privacy-center.org/
We recommend using your own domain name instead, such as https://privacy.company-name.com.
We offer two options to setup that custom domain:
Read on to learn how to do that setup.
In this setup, your custom domain will be managed by Didomi and you will simply need to create a DNS record.
Create a DNS record with your DNS provider or registrar that manages your domain, and use the following configuration parameters:
Parameter name | Value | Notes |
Name | Your custom domain ( | You will be creating a DNS record for a specific sub-domain of your domain name (like privacy., for instance) and not delegating the DNS management of your whole domain. |
Type | NS (Name server) | The type NS allows us to generate SSL certificates for the sub-domain and serve your privacy center with SSL/HTTPS. |
TTL (seconds) | 300 | |
Value | ns1.privacy-center.org ns2.privacy-center.org ns3.privacy-center.org ns4.privacy-center.org | Didomi's name servers that will host the DNS records for your custom domain |

If you are using CloudFront from Amazon Web Services
To support your custom domain, we will create a dedicated CloudFront distribution with your custom domain as a CNAME. Because of AWS restrictions, it is not possible for us to create that distribution if you already have a distribution in your account with either the exact same CNAME or a matching wildcard CNAME. For instance, if you have chosen to use the custom domain privacy.company.com and already have a CloudFront distribution with either privacy.company.com or *.company.com as CNAMEs, we will not be able to create the custom domain for you and the step 2 above does not apply.
If you are in this situation, please read the instructions below and contact us if you need help.
Before we can start serving your privacy center on your custom domain, we need to setup our DNS servers to recognize it.
Send an email to tech@didomi.io or to the person you have been in touch with at Didomi to let us know what custom domain you will be using and that the setup is done on your side.
If Didomi cannot manage your custom domain (which happens in rare cases when you already use AWS CloudFront on your own) or if you want to setup your custom domain yourself on AWS CloudFront, follow these instructions.
In this configuration, you will need to create your own CloudFront distribution with a SSL certificate and a DNS record that points to that distribution.
Create a CloudFront distribution with a Web delivery method and apply the following configuration parameters:
Configuration parameter | Value | Notes |
Origin Domain Name | www.privacy-center.org | This is Didomi's upstream/origin servers that CloudFront will query to serve the content of your privacy center on your custom domain. |
Viewer Protocol Policy | Redirect HTTP to HTTPS | |
Allowed HTTP Methods | GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE | |
Cache Based on Selected Request Headers | Whitelist > Add the following headers from the list: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Datetime, Accept-Language, Authorization, Host, Referer | |
Minimum TTL | 0 | |
Maximum TTL | 86400 | |
Default TTL | 86400 | |
Forward Cookies | All | |
Query String Forwarding and Caching | Forward all, cache based on all | |
Compress Objects Automatically | Yes | |
Alternate Domain Names (CNAMEs) | Your custom domain name | This is where you specify the custom domain name that you have chosen. It allows CloudFront to know that your custom domain is served by this distribution. See the AWS documentation for more information. |
Custom SSL certificate | Choose the SSL certificate that matches your custom domain name or a wildcard | If you do not have a SSL certificate for your custom domain, you can create one in AWS Certificate Manager. |
Use the default value for all the other configuration parameters of the CloudFront distribution.
Now that your CloudFront distribution has been created, you need to create a DNS record that points to it.
Create a DNS record for your custom domain name and configure it as a CNAME of the CloudFront distribution. See the AWS documentation for more information on how to create that record on Route53 or another DNS provider.
