General Settings

Your General Settings section is the central place to configure everything about how your CMP works, looks, and enforces consent. It includes:

• Categories: Define the types of cookies and trackers you need consent for, like "Necessary," "Analytics," or "Advertising."
• Vendors & Trackers: Maintain a list of known vendors and domains that need to be blocked or managed, with category assignments.
• Consent Modal & UI Text: Customize all text, labels, and translations shown to visitors in your consent banner and preferences modal.
• Default Consent Settings: Set the default consent mode (opt-in or opt-out), regional overrides, automatic page refreshing, and versioning.

Each of these helps you:

• Collect clear, granular consent for each purpose and vendor.
• Ensure compliance with laws like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA.
• Provide a branded, clear experience with customizable text and design.
• Keep your site privacy-friendly by preventing unauthorized tracking before consent.

Below you'll find details on each part:

---

Categories

Define the categories users see when managing their consent. Examples include:

• Necessary (cannot be disabled)
• Analytics
• Advertising
• Custom categories you define

Categories allow granular consent collection and make sure your site aligns with legal requirements for purpose-based consent.

---

Vendors & Trackers

Set up the list of scripts, domains, and vendors that need consent management:

• Add domain patterns (e.g. google-analytics.com)
• Assign them to categories
• Add internal notes for team management

This ensures accurate blocking and transparent disclosure.

---

Consent Modal & UI Text

Customize the full user experience:

• Banner titles and descriptions
• Buttons (Accept All, Reject All, Preferences)
• Terms of Service and Privacy Policy URLs
• Footer text and preferences modal sections
• Support for translations and region-specific language

Helps create a clear, branded, and compliant interface for your visitors.

Default Consent Settings

Set the overall behavior of your consent system:

• Consent mode (opt-in or opt-out)
• Auto show banner on load
• Disable page interaction until consent
• Region-specific overrides with tailored modes and text
• Consent revision/versioning to ensure you can roll out new policies safely

These settings ensure your site behaves correctly by default for all users, while giving flexibility for local laws and best practices.
