What is Cross-Domain Consent?

Cross-domain consent is a feature that allows users to give their consent preferences across multiple domains owned by the same organization. Instead of having to repeatedly consent on each individual website, users can set their preferences once and have them applied across all related domains. This streamlined approach not only enhances user experience but also ensures compliance with data protection regulations more efficiently.

  1. User Convenience: By reducing the need for users to repeatedly provide consent on each domain, the process becomes less intrusive and more user-friendly. When users encounter fewer consent requests, they are more likely to provide the necessary permissions.

  2. Consistency: Cross-domain consent ensures that users' preferences are consistently applied across all your platforms. This consistency builds trust, making users more inclined to grant consent when they see that their choices are respected and maintained across different sites.

Our platform allows you to seamlessly manage user consents across all your domains, ensuring a cohesive and user-friendly experience.

By leveraging cross-domain consent, you can improve user experience, improve consent rates, and ensure compliance with ease. Start optimizing your consent management today and see the difference it makes for your website visitors and your organization.

How to Implement Cross-Domain Consent.

In the platform, you'll find this option under the Cookie Banner section in Advanced Settings. It's very easy—just add the domains you want to link.

Important Browser Limitation Notice

While cross-domain consent is a powerful feature for improving user experience and streamlining compliance, it's important to note that major browsers are beginning to restrict its functionality:

  • Safari and Firefox already limit third-party cookie sharing, which impacts how consent can be shared across domains.

  • Chrome has announced it will also begin phasing out third-party cookies, further reducing the ability to track consent across domains.

These limitations mean that cross-domain consent may not work consistently for all users, depending on their browser.
