Overview

Beehiiv is a newsletter publishing platform that has rapidly gained popularity among independent writers and media companies. When Beehiiv's scripts appear on external websites, they're embedding newsletter subscription forms and content widgets designed to grow the publisher's subscriber list. The platform also tracks reader behavior and referral attribution to optimize subscriber acquisition.

Beehiiv's embeds serve a clear marketing purpose — converting website visitors into newsletter subscribers for ongoing email marketing.

What This Script Does

Beehiiv's scripts deploy subscriber capture and attribution tracking:

  • Subscription forms: Renders email capture forms (pop-ups, inline embeds, slide-ins) for newsletter signups
  • Newsletter content widgets: Displays preview content from recent newsletter editions to entice subscriptions
  • Referral attribution cookies: Sets cookies to track which pages and traffic sources generate subscriber signups
  • Reader identity tracking: Identifies returning readers and associates browsing sessions with subscriber profiles
  • Conversion event tracking: Records subscription events and attributes them to specific campaigns or referral sources
  • Referral program tracking: Manages subscriber referral programs, tracking which subscribers refer new signups

  • GDPR: Subscriber capture, attribution tracking, and reader identification constitute personal data processing for marketing purposes, requiring consent.
  • ePrivacy Directive: Attribution cookies and reader tracking are not strictly necessary and require consent.
  • CCPA/CPRA: Subscriber data and behavioral tracking constitute personal information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Beehiiv require consent for GDPR compliance?

Yes. Beehiiv scripts embed newsletter subscription forms and set attribution cookies to track which traffic sources generate signups. Reader identity tracking and referral attribution cookies constitute marketing data collection requiring explicit opt-in consent under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.

What data does Beehiiv collect from website visitors?

Beehiiv scripts collect referral attribution data, track which pages and campaigns generate newsletter signups, identify returning readers, and associate browsing sessions with subscriber profiles. Referral program tracking links existing subscribers to new signup conversions.

How does ConsentStack manage Beehiiv on my site?

ConsentStack blocks Beehiiv scripts until marketing consent is granted. This prevents subscription forms and attribution cookies from loading for non-consenting visitors. Once a visitor consents, ConsentStack signals the scripts to load and records the consent event for compliance reporting.
