Compliance Modes: Listener, Permissive, Strict

  • Updated

What do compliance modes do?

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. 

Cookie Consent - Modes

Listener Mode (Passive Mode - not visible to end user)

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 (Active Mode - visible to end user)

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 (Active Mode - visible to end user)

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)
