Response

Description

Active

This condition can be met in either of the following ways:

  1. The existing status of the purpose is Active when the preference center loads.

  2. The data subject clicks the toggle to opt-in for the purpose within the preference center.

Active indicates that the data subject has given consent to process their data for a purpose by opting in.

Withdrawn

This condition can be met in either of the following ways:

  1. The existing status of the purpose is Withdrawn when the preference center loads.

  2. The data subject clicks the toggle to opt-out for the purpose within the preference center.

Withdrawn indicates that the data subject has withdrawn consent that they had previously given to prevent further processing of their data for the purpose.

Not Given

This condition is met if the existing status of the purpose is Not Given when the preference center loads. Not Given indicates that a data subject had an opportunity to opt in to a purpose but did not take it.

Always active

This condition is met if the existing status of the purpose is Always Active when the preference center loads. Always Active indicates that the data subject does not have an option to give consent, withdraw consent, or opt out of the Purpose because processing data for the Purpose is necessary and will always be carried out.

Not Opted Out

This condition is met if the existing status of the purpose is Not Opted Out when the preference center loads. Not Opted Out indicates that the data subject was given an opportunity to opt-out but did not take it and is therefore opted into the purpose by default.

Toggled On

This condition is met only if the data subject clicks the toggle within the preference center to opt-in to the purpose.

Toggled Off

This condition is met only if the data subject clicks the toggle within the preference center to opt-out of the purpose.

No Interaction

This condition is met if there is no existing status of the purpose when the preference center loads. No Interaction indicates that the data subject has not interacted at all with the purpose and the purpose has no status associated with it.
