1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Digital Experiences and then click **All Sites**.
2. Find the enhanced LWR site that you want to connect to Data Cloud and click **Builder**.
3. In Experience Builder, go to **Settings** | **Integrations**.
4. On the Data Cloud card, select **Add to Site**.
5. Click **Share site data with Data Cloud**.
    
    After you connect an LWR site to a data space, you can’t change the connection to a different data space. This limitation also applies to Data Cloud integrations created in Spring ’25 or earlier, which use the default data space. You can’t move data from one data space to another. To use a different data space, delete the site’s Data Cloud integration, and then reconfigure the integration with the new data space.
    
    The integration process can take up to an hour.
6. Check your email for confirmation that your setup is complete. When you receive your confirmation email, publish your site.

## Track User Interactions

After your integration is set up, a set of interaction events is automatically mapped to Data Cloud. User consent is turned off by default for Experience Cloud sites. That means that even if you turn on Data Cloud, user information isn’t captured until you consent on behalf of your customers or implement a consent-management platform (CMP) app.

1. Create [consent management](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.exp_cloud_lwr.meta/exp_cloud_lwr/data_cloud_consent_management.htm) options.
2. Check out our [event reference](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.exp_cloud_lwr.meta/exp_cloud_lwr/data_event_reference.htm) guide to find out what you’re tracking.
3. Confirm that [your connection and data streams are active](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.exp_cloud_lwr.meta/exp_cloud_lwr/data_cloud_setup.htm).
