Consent Object

Description of the Consent Object format that is used by the onsite API to receive and update consent.

The Consent Object is a standardised way to represent consent throughout all methods of the onsite JavaScript API (similar to the IAB TCF consent string). The object holds a meta property that includes metadata like the validity of the cookie and a consent property that holds that current consent settings stored on the browser.

The onsite API and Consent Object is the official way to access the consent settings of TrustCommander with JavaScript. The direct usage of the Consent Cookie is deprecated.
