Overview

Osano is a data privacy and consent management platform that helps websites collect and manage visitor consent preferences. It displays consent banners, selectively blocks non-consented scripts, and maintains auditable consent records. The platform also monitors third-party vendor risk and compliance posture.

What This Script Does

  • Renders a consent banner or dialog for visitors to accept or reject tracking categories
  • Blocks or unblocks third-party scripts based on the visitor's consent choices
  • Stores consent preferences in cookies for returning visitors
  • Sends consent records to Osano's platform for compliance documentation
  • Monitors which vendors are active on the page and flags privacy risks

Consent & Compliance

Category: Essential

Osano is itself a consent management tool. Its purpose is to enforce consent requirements for other scripts on the page. The cookies it sets are strictly necessary to remember consent decisions and enforce those choices on subsequent page loads.

  • GDPR: Exempt from consent. Consent management tools are considered strictly necessary.
  • CCPA: Supports opt-out compliance by managing visitor preferences.
  • ePrivacy: Exempt. Cookies are technically necessary for consent enforcement.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Osano is a consent management platform. Blocking it would prevent consent collection and enforcement, undermining your compliance posture. It is classified as essential infrastructure.

Is Osano GDPR compliant?

Osano'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.
