Overview

Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri) provides GIS mapping software and spatial data services. The ArcGIS JavaScript API embeds interactive maps and spatial data visualizations on government, research, and enterprise websites.

What This Script Does

  • Loads the ArcGIS JavaScript API to render interactive map components
  • Fetches map tiles, geographic data layers, and spatial datasets from Esri's servers
  • Supports geocoding, routing, and spatial analysis operations in the browser
  • May set session cookies for map state persistence and API authentication
  • Transmits geographic queries (coordinates, search terms) to Esri's cloud services

Consent & Compliance

  • Consent Category: Functional
  • Applicable Regulations: GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA
  • Opt-in Required: Generally no — map components serve a functional purpose when they are core to page content (e.g., store locators, data visualizations)

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Esri's ArcGIS API provides functional mapping capabilities that are typically integral to page content. The data collected (geographic queries, map interactions) serves the user's direct request. If maps are supplementary rather than core, consider lazy-loading behind consent.

Is Environmental Systems Research Institute GDPR compliant?

Environmental Systems Research Institute typically loads 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 Environmental Systems Research Institute 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 Environmental Systems Research Institute, not on Environmental Systems Research Institute itself.
