Consent Management, by Formiti's Global Privacy Team

A consent management platform (CMP) is the system that controls when and how you ask for consent, record the user's decision, and enforce it across your websites, apps and backend systems. Privacy360's Consent Management module gives you a single, operational view of consent across channels and jurisdictions, so privacy, compliance and marketing teams can rely on one source of truth for what each person has agreed to.

Multi-jurisdiction consent and preference management
Banner UX with granular purpose and vendor control
Centralised consent logs and reporting
Integrations with analytics, tag managers and consent modes

The challenge

Why are GDPR consent records so hard to evidence?

Many organisations capture consent across websites, forms, spreadsheets, CRMs, and legacy tools. That creates inconsistent records, weak audit trails, and unnecessary manual work when teams need to prove what was collected, when it was collected, and how it was processed.

Consent data scattered across websites, spreadsheets, and legacy systems

Inconsistent formats across different client sources

Difficulty proving what was captured, when, and how

Lack of a reliable audit trail for consent records

The solution

How does Privacy360 handle GDPR consent management?

Privacy360 Consent Management brings fragmented consent activity into a central operational register. Teams can import existing datasets, validate and normalise records, capture website-originated consent through API integrations, and maintain an auditable link between incoming events and resulting consent records.

Central consent register with operational status tracking

Bulk import with field mapping and validation

API-based website consent capture

Inbound event logging and duplicate detection

Linked audit trail from event to consent record

Status tracking: active, withdrawn, expired, pending

Capabilities

What does Privacy360 Consent Management include?

Built for operational privacy teams that need more than a banner or checkbox log.

Consent Register

Maintain a searchable operational record of captured consents.

Bulk Import & Mapping

Import client consent datasets and map them into a canonical structure.

Validation Engine

Detect missing fields, invalid values, and date inconsistencies before import.

API Capture

Capture live consent submissions from websites and digital forms.

Inbound Event Tracking

Monitor API events, processing outcomes, and duplicates.

Audit & Evidence

Link raw events, metadata, and resulting consent records for review and reporting.

Workflow

How does Consent Management work, step by step?

Capture or import consent data

Receive consent via API from websites and forms, or import existing datasets from CSV, XLSX, and legacy systems.

Map and validate records

Map source fields to a canonical consent structure and validate for missing values, format issues, and date inconsistencies.

Normalise and store in the consent register

Create standardised consent records with status tracking — active, withdrawn, expired, or pending.

Track inbound events and processing history

Log every inbound event with processing outcomes, duplicate detection, and linked consent records.

Review, filter, and evidence consent activity

Search, filter, and export consent records with a full audit trail linking events to outcomes.

Product proof

Live views from the platform

Real screens from the Privacy360 Consent Management module — not mockups.

Inbound Consent Events

Monitor every consent submission as it arrives — via API or import. View processing status, detect duplicates, and trace each event to its resulting consent record.

Event Detail & Audit Trail

Drill into any event to see the raw payload, validation outcome, processing history, and the linked consent record — a complete evidential chain.

Audit Trail

Linked view from record creation through status changes, evidence updates, and processing outcomes.

Integrations

Which consent sources does Privacy360 support?

Privacy360 supports consent records captured from web forms, API integrations, CSV/XLSX imports, and legacy consent datasets — unifying fragmented records into one operational view without forcing organisations to replace every existing collection point.

Website forms

API integrations

CSV / XLSX imports

Legacy datasets

Operational governance

What is operational consent governance?

Consent only protects your organisation when it flows into the systems that act on it. Privacy360 captures consent decisions once and reuses them across the privacy operating model.

Consent decisions flow into downstream analytics and marketing tools, so suppression and targeting respect what the user actually agreed to
DSAR and rights handling can reference the same consent record, removing guesswork when responding to access, objection or erasure requests
Data mapping and records of processing reflect current consent status, keeping ROPA accurate as preferences change
Withdrawals and updates are captured once and reused everywhere, rather than re-prompted at every touchpoint
Audit trails link the original event to the resulting record, so you can prove what was captured and how

Performance & visibility

How does consent affect SEO, Core Web Vitals and AI search?

A well-implemented consent banner should protect privacy without tanking performance, SEO or AI search visibility. Privacy360 is designed so consent decisions are enforced with fast, lightweight scripts, clear banner text and stable layouts, helping you meet GDPR and other laws while maintaining healthy Core Web Vitals and a smooth customer journey.

Lightweight banner delivery designed for fast loading and good Core Web Vitals
Reserved space for banners and preference centre to avoid cumulative layout shift
Plain-language consent text that search engines and AI answer engines can interpret
Server-side consent capture options for resilience and reduced client-side weight

How it works

FAQ

Consent management FAQs

A consent management platform is the system that manages how you ask for consent, record each decision, and enforce it across your digital channels. It gives you a single place to configure purposes and vendors, store consent logs and prove that you only run non-essential tracking when people have agreed.

Privacy360 treats consent as part of operational privacy, not just a banner. The Consent Management module feeds consent signals into your records, assessments and DSAR workflows, and integrates with the rest of your privacy and AI governance work instead of sitting in a separate tool.

Badly implemented consent tools can slow down pages, cause layout shift and harm user experience, which can also affect SEO. Privacy360 is designed so banners are fast, accessible and stable, and so consent enforcement happens without unnecessary scripts or heavy UI that would drag down your performance.

The module is built to support multi-jurisdiction consent, including GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act, Swiss FADP and APAC regimes such as Thailand PDPA and Malaysia PDPA 2024. It gives you the configuration flexibility and audit logs you need to show how you collected consent in line with each law's requirements.

Yes. Privacy360 is designed to support multi-site and multi-brand environments, so you can manage global policies centrally while tailoring banners and preference centres for individual sites or markets. That makes it easier for central privacy teams and agencies to maintain consistency without losing local flexibility.

The Consent Management module integrates with your existing tags and platforms so that events only fire once the right consent is present. You can use APIs and technical integrations to sync consent signals with analytics, tag managers and CRM systems, reducing manual reconciliation and making sure downstream tools respect user choices.

Yes. Because Privacy360 is an operational platform, agencies and outsourced DPOs can manage consent for multiple clients in one place, with clear separation between entities and shared reporting patterns. That makes it easier to standardise how consent is handled across a portfolio while still reflecting each client's policies and branding.
