ig_did Cookie

What does the ig_did cookie do?

This is a targeting cookie used to track Instagram user visits. Instagram installs this cookie so that its widgets are enabled on the website.

Why this cookie matters

This cookie is commonly used by instagram for marketing purposes – such as tracking usage behaviour, optimising experience, or enabling marketing functionality.

Because it's categorised as marketing, many jurisdictions require that users give explicit consent before it can be activated. If blocked or denied by the visitor, personalised ads or retargeting features may not function properly.

How Cookifi helps you manage this cookie

Cookifi automatically detects cookies like ig_did, categorises them, and gives you full control over when and how they load - based on your users' consent choices.

Whether you manage consent via Google Tag Manager, consent APIs (like the Shopify or WordPress Consent API), or prefer automatic cookie blocking or manual script control, Cookifi integrates seamlessly into your stack.

Built for technical marketers, business owners and developers, Cookifi offers flexibility without sacrificing compliance.
