Overview
Axeptio provides a consent experience designed around visual clarity and user engagement. Rather than presenting dense legal text, its banners use playful UI elements and clear toggle controls that guide visitors through granular cookie choices. The platform is built with GDPR and ePrivacy compliance at its core, reflecting its French origins and deep alignment with EU regulatory frameworks.
What This Script Does
Axeptio's JavaScript loads an interactive consent widget that lists cookie categories — typically essential, analytics, marketing, and preferences. Visitors select which categories to allow, and the platform conditionally enables or blocks corresponding third-party tags in real time. Consent records are stored both in browser cookies and server-side logs, creating an auditable trail of visitor decisions. The widget also handles consent versioning, re-prompting visitors when cookie policies change.
Consent & Compliance
As a consent management platform, Axeptio is itself a compliance tool. It does not collect personal data for its own commercial purposes — it records consent signals on behalf of the site operator. Its cookies store the visitor's consent state and are classified as strictly necessary for the consent mechanism to function.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No. Axeptio is a consent management tool classified as essential. Blocking it would prevent visitors from expressing their cookie preferences, undermining the compliance mechanism it provides.

What does Axeptio do with cookies on a website?
Axeptio loads an interactive consent widget with visual toggle controls for granular cookie choices. It stores visitor consent decisions in cookies to maintain preferences across visits.

How does ConsentStack work alongside Axeptio?
