What is Consent Management Platform

A Consent Management Platform (CMP) is software that collects, documents, and honors user preferences for cookies, tracking pixels, and personal data processing. It's essential for GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. Consent management is mandatory in most jurisdictions. Organizations need experts to implement, maintain, and audit these systems. Non-compliance results in fines and legal liability.

❓ FAQ

▶What is the difference between consent and legitimate interest?
Consent requires explicit permission. Legitimate interest allows processing if your interests outweigh privacy risks. Both must be documented.
▶What must a consent banner include?
Identify purpose of processing, obtain affirmative consent (no pre-ticked), make rejection as easy as acceptance, and enable withdrawal of consent.
▶How does Google Consent Mode work?
It's a framework that adjusts Google Analytics and Ads behavior based on user consent choices. Helps compliance without losing all data.
▶How do I honor withdrawal of consent?
Upon withdrawal, stop processing immediately, respect Do Not Track signals, and delete/anonymize data as required. Document the withdrawal.
▶What data must I collect in a consent platform?
User consent status, timestamp, purpose, version of policy, and evidence of consent (dated record). Retention depends on local law.
▶How do consent platforms integrate with marketing tools?
Via tag management systems (Google Tag Manager) or direct API calls. The platform signals which scripts/pixels to fire based on consent status.
