Overview

Beamer is a product changelog and in-app notification center embedded in SaaS products and websites. Product teams use it to announce new features, updates, and company news to users directly within the application.

What This Script Does

The Beamer script injects a notification bell icon or sidebar panel that displays product updates, feature announcements, and changelog entries. Users can click to view posts, react with emojis, and leave comments. The script tracks engagement metrics—which posts were viewed, clicked, and reacted to—and reports this data to Beamer's dashboard for content effectiveness analysis. It sets cookies to track which posts a user has already seen and to show unread notification counts.

Consent & Compliance

Consent category: Functional

Beamer provides in-app communication that is part of the product experience. The changelog and notification features help users stay informed about the product they are actively using. Under GDPR, this may qualify as a legitimate interest for products communicating with their authenticated users. The cookies that track read/unread state are tied to delivering the notification service. The engagement analytics (view and click tracking) are ancillary to the functional purpose.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Conditional. If Beamer is used within an authenticated application to communicate product updates to logged-in users, it can be treated as functional. If deployed on a public marketing site to track anonymous visitor engagement, block until functional consent is granted.

Is Beamer GDPR compliant?

Beamer typically loads analytics and functional trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So Beamer can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads Beamer, not on Beamer itself.
