Overview
Piwik PRO Consent Manager is a comprehensive consent management platform designed to provide easy and transparent consent collection while ensuring full privacy compliance with GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and other global privacy regulations. The platform is part of Piwik PRO's integrated analytics suite that includes Analytics, Tag Manager, Customer Data Platform, and Consent Management Platform, allowing businesses to categorize data from Analytics and Tag Manager so that data purposes always align with the consent received. The solution enables organizations to customize consent forms to match each website's design and language while maintaining strict compliance standards. The platform offers valid consent collection mechanisms that ensure businesses only work with data that visitors agree to share, with trackers prevented from collecting any personal information in cases of refusal or no decision. Piwik PRO Consent Manager provides comprehensive withdrawal and amendment capabilities, giving visitors easy ways to change or withdraw their consents, with the system automatically adjusting data collection to match new preferences. The solution implements zero cookie load functionality, respecting guidance from France's CNIL, Germany's TTDSG/TDDDG requirements, and the upcoming ePrivacy regulation by preventing tags from running before obtaining legal consent. The consent manager includes sophisticated targeting capabilities, displaying consent requests only to those in the European Economic Area (EEA) for GDPR compliance while providing opt-out mechanisms for CCPA and other privacy laws. The platform offers multiple tracking options to satisfy compliance requirements while collecting valuable customer and visitor data. Implementation is designed to be hassle-free, allowing users to create consent requests without writing code, define which websites require compliance, specify reasons for data collection, and craft customized messages. Piwik PRO Consent Manager provides robust reporting capabilities through integrated analytics to monitor and optimize opt-in ratios of consent messages. The platform features customizable forms where users can change every detail of pop-ups and bottom bars or build custom consent experiences using the powerful JavaScript API. Out-of-the-box integration with Tag Manager allows full alignment of fired tags with visitor choices, while data subject request management enables visitors to submit requests using customizable widgets, with all requests processed and resolved through a simple panel that maintains full history for audit purposes.
