Data Collection

• EnableBefore consent: No UTM parameters are saved, no cookies are set
• After consent: Full tracking begins immediately
• Data loss: Users who deny consent will not have their UTM data tracked
• Compliance: Helps meet GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations

Automatic Operation

Once enabled in settings, the integration works automatically. You don't need to configure anything in WP Consent API Integrationor your consent management plugin - they communicate automatically through the standard API.

Works with Multiple Plugins

The beauty of WP Consent API is that it works with dozens of consent plugins. If you switch from Complianz to CookieYes, or add a different consent plugin later, HandL will continue working without any changes needed.
