Example - Personalization condition type

This page contains a full code sample that demonstrates how to develop a personalization condition type. To learn more about the development process in general, visit our Develop personalization condition types page.

Contact tracking

We recommend setting up tracking of contacts on your website. The tracking is required for the example to work correctly (and for most types of conditions that utilize Xperience digital marketing features and data).

When finished, this condition type allows you to display different live site content to visitors based on consent agreements they have given. Content editors are able to define different variants of widget content for any number of consents.

Create a HasGivenConsentConditionType class in your project. Place the class file into a component folder for the condition type, for example: ~/Components/PageBuilder/PersonalizationConditions/HasGivenConsent/

We recommend using dependency injection to initialize service instances.
