# Updating Consent (Reactivation of ‘no-choice’ options)

### 1. Business value: Recover your ‘lost’ audience

A visitor who does not make a choice is a visitor you cannot track, which creates grey areas in your analyses and media campaigns.

* **Maximise inventory**: Turn your ‘ghost’ visitors into actionable profiles.
* **Controlled marketing pressure**: Avoid re-displaying the main banner (which is often intrusive) by using more discreet reminder formats.
* **Improved ROI**: More consent means better attribution of your conversions and more accurate targeting.

### 2. Implementation methodology

#### Step A: Identification of ‘No-choice’ users

The system automatically identifies users who browse the site without clicking “Accept” or ‘Decline’.

#### Step B: Choice of reactivation format

There are several methods for requesting consent again without being intrusive:

* **Injection (Soft Prompt):** Insert a small banner or phrase into the page content (e.g., above the footer or in a sidebar).
* **Reminder pop-in:** A lightweight, non-blocking pop-in that appears after a certain number of page views or time spent on the site.
* **Floating button:** A permanent widget (e.g., a shield icon) that allows the CMP to be opened at any time.

#### **Step C: Configure the trigger**

Do not solicit the user immediately. Wait until they show interest in your content.

* **Example**: Trigger after 3 page views or 60 seconds of browsing.

#### **Step D: Analyse performance**

Track the effectiveness of your reminders in your consent dashboards.

* **KPI**: Conversion rate from ‘no choice’ to ‘opt-in’.

### 3. Typical use cases

1. **The ‘Personalised Content’ banner**: If the user has not made a choice, display a discreet banner: *‘Would you like to enjoy a personalised experience? \[Manage my preferences]’*.
2. **Reactivation upon exit intent**: If a ‘no-choice’ user is about to leave the site, display an educational exit pop-in explaining that their choices help improve the quality of the site.
3. **Access to social features**: If a user attempts to share an article but has not consented to social cookies, display a pop-up message: *"To share this article, you must accept social cookies. \[Accept]"*.
