Tealium iQ running in an iframe?

[pmeyerdk]

Hi all,

The team I work in, are forced to have Tealium iQ running from within an iFrame on a couple of our sites.
Normally, I actually wouldn't do that, but in these cases we are forced to do it that way.

I am guessing that some of the browsers (Internet Explorer and Safari?) will block cookies and/or scripts running from within the iframes.
But since I haven't tried doing this with iQ, I just wanted to ask the community for information about any experiences, including what might not get working.

Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with this?

Thanks!

Best regards
Peter Meyer

Hi @pmeyerdk - I agree running in an iframe is not optimal, but shouldn't be a total show stopper.  Several pages of the distributed application I work with are iframed, with Tealium running in the content iframe and sometimes in both frames. All this makes debugging a challenge, but we still get things done.  I was just reviewing our data to see if I could find a great disparity in data collection across browser types as you were suggesting, but I could not find a huge difference.   In most of our use cases, there's not a real technical reason to be iframed other than compartmentalization of developer code. As such, I'm pushing to get out of iframes going forward.

I think it'll just be a learning experience as you go - please share any interesting findings, and thanks for putting this on the radar, I'll share back any new findings as well.  Hope others here will chime in as well.
