Hello I have 2 websites : example.group/en example.group/en-us They have two differents PIwik instance (different Piwik id) and the consent manager have been enabled on both sites. My question is simple. **What would be the behavior when switching from a website (/en) to an other (en-us) ?** If I refuse the cookie on /en, is the cookie banner will be displayed if I go on /en-us For me yes because we have an other instance of Piwik so the user will be considered as new user. Thank you for your confirmation ---

Hi @romainproximity, Yes, you are correct. When there are two different containers a consent decision will not be shared between them, hence visitor will be asked for consent two times. Best, Oliwer ---

Hello Oliwer, Thank you for your confirmation. And if my Piwik Pro instance is installed in 2 differents domains : [abc.com](http://abc.com) and def.app **Will my cookie banner reappear when I switch from a domain to an other ?** Because I’m doing some test on my staging environment and I still have my cookie banner on the second site even if I accepted at the first touch point. Even if I have the same visitor id for the both domain in my report I don’t want that my user can say yes to the consent at the first touchpoint and no at the second. PS : my tracking is done according to the CNIL/GDPR configuration. Thank you very much for your help Best Romain ---

Yes, consent form will appear again on the second domain. Best, Oliwer ---

Hello @Oliwer_Kaczmarek Thank you. Is it possible to avoid this behavior ? Or is it only because I have 2 differents domains ? Thank you very much for your help ---

Hi @romainproximity, That is correct. Piwik PRO Consent Manager uses a first-party cookie to save the consent status for each consent type. That means that as of now the consent cannot be shared between domains (but can be shared between subdomains). ---

In theory this could be done by appending the consent status in the URL as a parameter and then using that to set the appropriate consent through your tag manager. E.g. example.group/en-us?consent=110 or so. You’d need some way to dynamically populate the outlinks though so probably some custom code somewhere. Haven’t done it before though. ---

Yeah, seems like an interesting option. E.g. getting the consent settings from the query parameters of your URL and passing them to [setComplianceSettings](https://developers.piwik.pro/en/latest/consent_manager/js_api/index.html#set-compliance-settings). It would probably still count as consent decision changed event as the consent manager would set initial values in the background. Haven’t tried this yet, might try in the future.
