Technical Implementation

What technical components does TinyConsent provide?

TinyConsent provides complete technical consent infrastructure: cookie blocking, consent logging, region detection, consent categories, and exportable audit logs. You own the legal interpretation for your specific use case.

Does it support region-based consent?

Yes, TinyConsent automatically detects visitor location and adapts the consent experience — opt-in for EU visitors, opt-out options for California visitors.

How does cookie blocking work?

TinyConsent maintains a database of known tracking scripts and prevents them from loading until users give consent. This is the core technical requirement for prior consent.

Can users withdraw consent?

Yes, users can change their consent preferences anytime. A consent management link is always available in your cookie banner.

Do you store consent records?

Yes, we maintain consent receipts with timestamps, consent choices, and banner versions — exportable for audit purposes. This is the evidence format regulators typically expect.

Implementation

Where do I add the script tag?

Add the script tag to your website's HTML <head> section, ideally before other scripts. This ensures TinyConsent loads first and can block trackers.

Does it work with my CMS?

Can I customize the banner appearance?

Yes, you can customize colors, position, text, and behavior through your TinyConsent dashboard. No coding required.

Does it work with React/Next.js?

Yes, the script tag works with any JavaScript framework. For React-specific features, check our React documentation.

Will it slow down my website?
