Consent Tracking
The cookie banner, with or without the Preferences dialog, logs consent records from store visitors. This ensures every consent action is tracked, auditable, and compliant with privacy regulations.
How Consent Logging Works
- When a visitor interacts with the cookie banner or preferences dialog, a consent cookie is stored in their browser.
- A network call is made to the Pandectes app to store the consent record.
- Visitors are identified by a unique, anonymous cookie ID. This ID does not contain any personally identifiable information (PII).
- Every subsequent interaction with the banner or preferences is logged and associated with that ID.
The Consent Tracking report provides a detailed list of these consent receipts:
Consent Receipts
Each entry in the consent log represents a transaction receipt. This includes details about:
- The visitor’s anonymous identifier.
- The type of action taken (accept, decline, preferences updated, etc.).
- The date and time of the action.
Searching for a Specific Consent Receipt
If you need to locate a particular consent:
- Open the Consent Log page.
- Use the Receipt Search field.
- Enter the Receipt GUID (Globally Unique Identifier).
The GUID can be captured from the payload sent in the network request whenever consent is given.
Filtering Consent Records
The log can be dynamically filtered using the filter options in the top bar:
- Type
Filter by interaction type (e.g., Accept, Decline, Dismiss, Preferences update).
- Date
Select a specific date range from the calendar to narrow down results.
These filters allow you to analyze consent activity more effectively.
Exporting Consent Logs
For external analysis, the entire consent log can be exported:
- Click the Export to CSV option in the top-right corner of the consent log page.
- The CSV file can then be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or any analytics tool.
Why This Matters
- Compliance: Provides an auditable trail of visitor consent.
- Transparency: Ensures every action is logged and available for review.
- Flexibility: Search, filter, and export records for analysis or reporting.
