Overview

ConsentManager is a consent management platform (CMP) that delivers cookie consent banners and manages consent signals across websites. It blocks non-consented vendor scripts and transmits consent records to a hosted compliance platform.

What This Script Does

ConsentManager scripts render a consent banner or modal, detect the visitor's jurisdiction to apply appropriate consent rules, and manage the blocking/unblocking of third-party scripts based on consent choices. Consent decisions are stored in cookies (typically __cmpcc or similar) and transmitted to ConsentManager's hosted platform for record-keeping. The CMP integrates with IAB TCF (Transparency and Consent Framework) to signal consent status to advertising vendors via the __tcfapi interface.

ConsentManager is the mechanism through which consent is collected and enforced. Its cookies storing consent preferences are classified as strictly necessary under ePrivacy. Blocking this script would prevent consent collection.

Should You Block This Without Consent?
