Compliance overview
OptSens is a consent management platform. It collects the visitor's cookie choice, blocks non-essential scripts until that choice is made, records each decision with its context, and gives you proof you can hand to an auditor. This page maps those features to the privacy work you do.
OptSens supports your compliance workflow. It does not make legal decisions for you. Which obligations apply to your site depends on your audience, your data and your own legal advice.
Which regime applies
A consent banner does not behave the same way for every visitor. Under the GDPR a visitor must opt in before non-essential cookies run. Under the CCPA/CPRA a California visitor can opt out after the fact. OptSens decides which behavior to show using geo rules: you map each region to a regulatory mode, and the banner switches per visitor based on detected location.
| Mode | Behavior | Typical region |
|---|---|---|
| GDPR | Opt-in. Non-essential scripts blocked until consent | EU/EEA, UK |
| CCPA | Opt-out. A Do Not Sell link, GPC honored | California |
| IAB | TCF 2.3 purposes and vendors | EU publishers using IAB |
| Basic | Opt-in banner, behaves like GDPR | Regions with no strict rule |

Proving it later
With consent logging on, every consent choice is stored as a consent record with a timestamp, the categories the visitor chose, and a receipt ID. Without it only the counts are kept. You can view these in consent logs, export them, or generate a signed consent proof PDF for a single visitor. This is the evidence trail you produce if a regulator asks how a given visitor consented.
