Different countries, regions have different rules on what needs to be done before a website can use cookies. Europe with GDPR has an opt-in approach whereas California with CCPA has an opt-out approach. We refer to these configurations as consent type and offer the following ones:


Consent Type:

  • Notice: User is shown a banner informing of the use of cookies and cookies or pixels are not blocked.

  • Opt-In: This is the GDPR level of consent wherein we give users a notice and block cookies until the user gives consent. We also allow users to give granular consent on each purpose separately via the Cookie Settings CTA.

  • Implied Opt-In: This is the same as Opt-In, the only difference being consent is implied after a time-out and click on the websites. This consent type was popular before GDPR and has slowly being discontinued because DPAs not approving of this consent.

  • Opt-Out: This is the CCPA consent type wherein users are given notice of the use of cookies and an option to Opt-Out of cookies. We also give a button for "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" which allows users to manage purpose-level granular consent.

You can geo-target users and setup different consent policies for each region based on the privacy law's requirements. The Consent Policy tab allows you to do so:
