Compliance Modes: Listener, Permissive, Strict

Compliance Mode Definitions

Compliance modes determine how the Osano consent manager runs on your site. Once the osano.js is placed in the <head> of your site, you do not need to remove it; you can simply change the compliance modes to change the CMP's behavior. 

  • Listener Mode 
    • Osano will gather script and cookie information for categorization, but the consent banner will not appear on your webpage, and no blocking will occur.
  • Permissive Mode
    • The consent banner will appear on your website, and all managed scripts/cookies will execute as expected. HOWEVER, all uncategorized scripts/cookies will be identified and allowed regardless of consent given.
  • Strict Mode 
    • The consent banner will appear on your website, and all managed scripts/cookies will execute as expected. HOWEVER, all uncategorized scripts/cookies will be identified and BLOCKED. (Most Compliant)
