Consent

Privacy and data protection laws allow for collection and processing of an individual’s personal information given proper notice and consent. Consent to process data is a powerful justification in regulations such as GDPR: it can be used to enrich the user experience and remove doubt about intent. However, there is currently no broadly-accepted standard for management of consent in online systems. The Kantara Initiative Consent Management Solutions Work Group is gathering current practices from leading organizations to create a useful toolkit and guide for organizations wishing to implement best current practice for consent management.
