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.

Consent & Compliance

  • Consent Category: Essential / Functional
  • Applicable Regulations: GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA
  • Opt-in Required: No — the consent management tool itself is essential infrastructure

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?

No. ConsentManager is a consent management platform. Blocking it would prevent your site from collecting and enforcing consent, creating a compliance violation. CMP scripts are strictly necessary and exempt from consent requirements.

Is ConsentManager GDPR compliant?

ConsentManager's trackers are classified as essential (strictly necessary), so they are generally exempt from prior consent under the GDPR. You should still list them in your cookie policy and privacy notice so visitors know they are there.
