    • Cookie Consent
      • The Osano admin portal will be phasing out support for Internet Explorer (IE11) and our legacy browser option in Osano’s Cookie Consent Manager in 60 days. Microsoft ended support for IE 11 on June 15, 2022, and subsequently disabled the IE11 desktop application on February 14, 2023.
