Auditing and Reporting
Learn how to generate auditor-grade receipts and export compliance-ready consent evidence from Ours Privacy CMP.
Auditing and Reporting
Ours Privacy CMP includes auditor-grade receipts so your team can produce clear evidence for audits, legal reviews, and internal compliance checks.
What You Can Show
With consent reporting, you can document:
- Who made a consent choice
- When it happened
- What they chose
- Where it happened (site/page and location context)
- Which consent policy context applied at that time
Why This Matters
Audits and legal reviews usually require more than a dashboard screenshot. They require evidence that is:
- clear and understandable to non-technical reviewers
- tied to real visitor decisions
- exportable for compliance workflows
- traceable to the policy active at the time of consent
Auditor-Grade Receipts
Ours Privacy CMP gives you auditor-grade receipts that combine consent actions with policy context so you can confidently answer questions like:
- "Did this person provide consent?"
- "What exactly did they consent to?"
- "Which policy was in effect when they made that choice?"
Consent Audit Export (Subject Lookup)
Use Consent Analytics → Audit Export when you need subject-level evidence:
- Open Analytics → Consent Analytics for a consent setting, then go to the Audit Export tab.
- Choose one identifier type:
- IP address
- Ours visitor ID
- Select a date range.
- Run Search to confirm whether evidence exists.
- If matches are found, run Export Audit Receipt to download CSV evidence.
The lookup returns a found/not-found status plus matched event and visitor counts so compliance teams can confirm scope before export.
CSV Evidence Fields
The audit CSV includes core evidence and policy context, including:
- visitor id, event, action, page, timestamp, email
- region, country, IP, user agent
- consent setting id and consent id
- selected rule kind and selected rule label
- published version id and published version number
- accepted and rejected categories
Recommended Workflow
- Use Consent Analytics → Audit Export to locate a subject by email, IP, or visitor ID.
- Confirm lookup status and event counts.
- Run a full export for the selected subject and date range.
- Attach the export to your audit or legal ticket.
- Store the evidence package according to your retention policy.
Best Practices
- Limit access to consent exports to authorized compliance and legal users.
- Use consistent date ranges and naming conventions for audit packages.
- Archive exported evidence in your approved compliance storage location.
- Review and validate your consent configuration regularly.
