# Explicit vs Implied consent


# Explicit consent

### ${color}[#0ec81a](**Recommended**)

**By default**, the behavior set in the app is for **the cookie banner to be shown on each page** until the visitor has clicked on any of the buttons on the banner. 

That is also known as requiring **explicit consent** from your visitors before you can track them on your webpage. 

**That is the GDPR recommended way** of having your cookie banner work **as per the law requirements**

# Implied consent

### ${color}[#ca1616](Use with caution)

|| Make sure to check this with a law advisor before enabling the Implied consent for your region.

There is also the option in our app to change this behavior to **Implied consent.**

This means that different actions of the visitor in the store can be considered as giving consent. 

You have the option to **set the Implied consent** for the store visitors in the **following ways**:

1. By **default** there is an **"outside click"** option enabled for the functionality. The time for when the outside click to take effect once the banner is shown can also be adjusted from the **Implied consent safety delay** option.

**Any clicks outside the banner** or anywhere on the page **will imply consent.**

2. **Page scroll -** if you have this one enabled, a **consent will be set** in the given session, **once the visitor scroll for more than 20% of the page**

3. **Page refresh -** a **consent will be registered** if this one is enabled if the **visitor navigate to another page** of the store **or refresh the one they are currently viewing**

# IMPORTANT ⚠️ - Implied consent usage

|| Note that the option for the Implied consent is not recommended to be used for the GDPR region and also for the most popular customer privacy laws worldwide. These laws can also be checked in the app settings in the Geolocation section.

* **If you are certain** that the customer **privacy laws** as per the regions where you are operating **allow the usage of the Implied consent**, we would also **recommend having the cookie banner content changed accordingly.**

You can use **the following text content** if the **Implied consent is enabled**:

**"By continuing to use our website, you agree to our Privacy Policy and the use of cookies for a better browsing experience."**

The content can be added to the cookie banner as per this guide:
