AdOpt is a CMP - Consent Management Platform, that allows you to build a transparent and trustful relationship with your website visitors.

Thus, all visitors who access your site will be approached by the banner with a notification that asks for the consent of each one of them in a direct, free, informed and detailed way.

Below are the detailed steps that process this consent registration at AdOpt.

This is a detailed list of everything you can anticipate to make your first steps at AdOpt even easier.

AdOpt specializes in **consent and preference management**, helping businesses collect, store, and respect user choices regarding cookies and tracking technologies. However, **we are not a full compliance solution** for GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California, USA), or PIPEDA (Canada).  

What does AdOpt not cover in a Privacy Regulation?

The SSL certificate is an excellent internet security practice that should never be ignored for website owners.

My website does not have an SSL Certificate, what can I do?

Right after login, click on the AdOpt logo at the left upper corner.
Than, click on "Add organization" button, at the right upper side.

Tag installed, but AdOpt doesn't recognize it. What can I do?

In this document, we will discuss how to optimize website performance when using a cookie consent notice script. The goal is to compare website performance in four scenarios: without installing the consent notice, installing the consent notice immediately, installing the consent notice immediately with the "async" attribute, and installing the consent notice after a delay or after the user's mouse movement. We will analyze the performance implications of each of these scenarios.

Optimizing Website Performance with the Installation of a Cookie Consent Notice

It depends.

The software has a scanner that helps you find the tags automatically, so you can sort them during the setup on each category, that will be displayed in the disclaimer.

Is the cookie setting automatic?

Here are some steps to help you with your scanner.

Does AdOpt store cookies as a proof of consent?

AdOpt's Cookies & Technical Details

We classify consents or opt-ins into two categories:

What types of consent are stored?

 All of them are stored in a 100% anonymized and individual way, in the consent log inside your dashboard.



Is there an official record / log of the user's consent? How is it stored?

As privacy laws state it is the right of its citizens to change consent options at any time, on any website or situation.
 
This is a principle of freedom that AdOpt respects and values immensely!
So, precisely for this reason, we would like to expose the reasons that led AdOpt to design the functioning of its banner in a specific way when a visitor changes his/her consent options.
 
When analyzing some companies and even AdOpt competitors, we could observe the following flow:


What happens when a visitor changes their consent options in AdOpt?

Yes, but only if you have a good Cookie Policy available. 

Can I use AdOpt without a privacy policy?

Show your customers that you made a point of bringing in an independent partner for such an important job! 

Thus, building a relationship of transparency and trust.


How do I refer AdOpt in my Privacy Policy?

According to the GDPR, LGPD, CCPA and many others visitors have the right to revoke their consent - at any time.

Is the opt-out mandatory?

For both cases it is important that your company establish the processes that will be initiated from this request triggered by AdOpt's automatic email from. 


What to do with the AdOpt notification for Opt-out or Download?

In case of opt-out or data download requests, 2 emails are automatically sent to the emails of the AdOpt registered user (Owners and DPOs).

How does AdOpt notify users in case of request from the visitors?

 1. **AdOpt > AdOpt Client** - in order to proceed to the next steps with the proper legal obligations.
 
 2. **AdOpt > AdOpt Client'**s Visitor, to let them know that the responsible parties have been notified, and serves as a "receipt" ensuring that your request has been processed.

What do I do when I receive a Data Download request?

Every interaction by the visitors generates **2 emails from AdOpt.**

1. **AdOpt > AdOpt Customer** - in order to proceed to the next steps with the proper legal obligations. 

2. **AdOpt > AdOpt Client Visitor**, to let your visitor know that the responsible parties have been notified, and serves as a "receipt guaranteeing that your request has been processed.

(At the end of this article, examples of these two emails)

**Below we will discuss both e-mails and their processes, when at the time of an Opt-out request.

Requests Page and Privacy Portal on AdOpt

One of the main functions of a consent management tool, such as AdOpt, is the ability to also act in an integrated manner with the other tracking tools that the site uses for its digital strategy.
 
In other words, if a visitor chooses not to authorize the triggering of a facebook advertising pixel for the navigation of your site, how can you integrate this request to the facebook tags in an automated way?
 
This is precisely why AdOpt has created a way for you to integrate each opt-in collected by AdOpt, with all the tags it manages. This way, AdOpt can allow or not the tag triggering from third parties, avoiding the risk of unauthorized remarketing, for example.

The callback is created by overriding the function:
