# Tracking Configuration

Once your container is created, the next step is to configure your tracking. On the **Tracking Configuration** tab, you will find your unique **DNS A Record** and **HTML Code**. If you enabled the **Cookie Lifetime Extender**, you will also see the details on how to configure your web server.

Follow the instructions on the screen or read [DNS Setup](https://docs.jentis.com/getting-started/quickstart/make-tracking-first-party-set-your-dns), [JENTIS Code Snippet](https://github.com/JENTISDev/publicDocs/blob/master/jentis-dcp-elements/account-settings/container-administration/broken-reference/README.md) and [Cookie Lifetime Extender](https://docs.jentis.com/key-features/cookie-lifetime-extender) for more information on configuring each.

#### Tracking Verification and Container Status <a href="#containeradministration-trackingverificationandcontainerstatus" id="containeradministration-trackingverificationandcontainerstatus"></a>

After you configure the DNS A Record and the HTML Code on your website, it will be automatically verified in up to 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can return to your container’s configuration and click on **Verify**.

Next to your container’s name, you will find the status of your container:

* If GREEN, the consent bar is selected, DNS A Record and HTML Code are verified, and the container is published.
* If BLUE, the consent bar is selected, DNS A Record and HTML Code are verified, but the container is not yet published.
* If GREY, at least one of the configuration steps (DNS A Record, HTML Code, or Consentbar) is not completed.
