Consent records: Proof of every yes, and every no
CookieWave keeps a record of every choice your visitors make. When someone asks what was agreed, and when, you answer with a ready-made report in one click, not a spreadsheet.
The consent log
Every choice, written down
On from the first visit, with nothing to set up. Your records build themselves while you get on with your site.
- Every decision, automatically
- Accept, reject or a custom choice: each one is written down the moment it is made.
- The banner they actually saw
- Each record points to the exact banner, texts and cookie list the visitor was shown.
- Built for GDPR
- Records that let you prove consent, as GDPR asks, while keeping only what is needed. No IP addresses.
- Find anyone in seconds
- Search by consent ID and see every choice that visitor has made on your site.
- See how people decide
- Consent events, accept rate and the split between choices, compared with the period before.
- Kept for a year
- Records stay for 365 days, then are deleted on their own.
Proof of consent
A PDF that answers every question
Click any record and download its proof of consent: a complete, readable document you can hand to a visitor, a lawyer or a regulator as it is.
- 1
A real document, numbered
Its own document number, the date it was issued, and both parties: CookieWave as processor and you as the website operator.
- 2
The decision, in full
What was chosen and when, the consent ID, granted and refused categories, country, the Global Privacy Control signal and the browser.
- 3
The banner they saw
Not today’s settings: the configuration the visitor actually saw, kept from the day they decided.
- 4
Every cookie behind each choice
Each category with its cookies, their domains, lifetimes and descriptions, in the language the visitor read them in.
- 5
The whole story
Every later change by the same visitor, so the document shows where things stand today.
Every PDF we issue is fingerprinted and registered, so a copy shown to you later can be checked against the one we produced.
When it matters
Ready for the questions that come later
“What exactly did I agree to?”
With their consent ID you find the record in seconds, and one click gives you the PDF to send back.
“Show us your consent records.”
An auditor or authority asks for the bigger picture. Export your latest records in one batch.
“We added new cookies.”
Renew consents in one click, and every visitor is asked again, with the new banner on record.
Your records, kept for you
Consent records come with every plan, the free one too. Add the banner and they start on their own.
