Logging Consent Records
Cookie banners and preference centers can be set up to log records of consent and consent preferences from site visitors.
By enabling logging for a Geolocation Rule, you can log and view consent transaction receipts for visitors to your site. Site visitors are identified by the unique and anonymous cookie set on their devices after expressing consent preferences. The cookie does not contain any personal identifiable information at this point.
Each interaction the data subject has due to banner or preference center once the cookie is set on their device will be logged individually and associated with the identifier assigned to cookie on their device.
To configure Cookie Banner and Preference Centers to start sending consent interactions, enable the setting below in your Geolocation Rules. This must be done for every rule you would like to collect consent transactions for. This is done to account for any scenarios where you may not want to send interactions for a particular audience. After enabling, you will need to republish the domain for which you want to start tracking consent.

Publishing the Production CDN will create a Collection Point for each combination of domain, rule group, rule, and template in the Consent module, with purposes mapped for each category, purpose, and special feature. Once the collection point is created, the Testing CDN will also collect consent data and display in the Cookie Consent Dashboard.
