Integration

After adding a website to your TauscheBanner account, you will receive a JavaScript code snippet. Place this code at the desired location on your website — a text banner will automatically be displayed there.

<div id="tauschebanner"></div>
<script src="https://tauschebanner.de/api/banners/embed.js?website=YOUR_KEYCODE"></script>

You can customize the appearance with the theme parameter: light, dark, or auto (follows OS preference).

<script src="https://tauschebanner.de/api/banners/embed.js?website=YOUR_KEYCODE&theme=dark"></script>

Development & Testing

During development, the banner may not display because TauscheBanner verifies that the referrer domain matches your registered website URL. To bypass this check, add preview=true to the embed script URL:

<script src="https://tauschebanner.de/api/banners/embed.js?website=YOUR_KEYCODE&preview=true"></script>

Important: Remove preview=true before going live — in preview mode, clicks are not tracked and no points are earned or spent.

If no banner appears, check your browser's developer console for warnings. TauscheBanner logs a message when the referrer does not match the registered URL.

Privacy Policy

Since TauscheBanner loads an external script on your website, you should mention this in your privacy policy. Here is a sample text you can use:

Sample Text (English)

TauscheBanner

This website uses the banner exchange service TauscheBanner (tauschebanner.de). When you visit our site, a script is loaded from tauschebanner.de that retrieves and displays a text banner. If you click on a banner, the click is routed through tauschebanner.de, which records the click anonymously (aggregate daily counts only). No cookies are set, no IP addresses are stored, and no personal data is collected by TauscheBanner. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in promoting our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). More information: TauscheBanner Privacy Policy.

No Cookie Banner Required

TauscheBanner does not use tracking, does not set cookies, and does not collect personal data from your visitors. A Consent Management Platform (CMP) is not required for the use of TauscheBanner.
