# Global Privacy Control (GPC) integration - Consentmo 

The **Global Privacy Control (GPC)** is a privacy standard designed to give users more control over their personal information online. It allows users to signal their privacy preferences to websites and online services automatically. 

With GPC, users can set their preferences once through their web browser or other tools, indicating whether they want their data to be collected, shared, or sold. 

Websites and services that adhere to the GPC standard are obligated to respect these preferences, providing users with a more consistent and streamlined experience across different platforms.

||| **NOTE:** ${color}[#476DA5](Make sure to remove the added code before deleting the app. This way, no snippets of code will be left in your theme. For more information on what you should be aware of when deleting our app check [this article](/en/article/uninstalling-the-consentmo-app-1t7juar/) of our FAQ page.)

* More on the topic can be found in the [Global Privacy Control](https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) page as well.

# Additional settings in the store for the Customer Privacy

Once the option is enabled, you also need to make sure that the correct Customer Privacy Settings for this are set in the store as well. You can do this by following the steps here:

* Go to the **Store Admin** > **Settings** section

* In the **Customer Privacy** tab > **Data sales opt-out page** option

* In the **Regions** section, hit **Edit** and make sure to select the Recommended list of locations there

Once the above is set as well, you will make sure that all settings in the app and the store will work in full sync for the Do Not Sell data subject.

# Additional Note: Behavior when Global Privacy Control (GPC) is enabled

**Note**: If the Global Privacy Control (GPC) integration is enabled in the Consentmo app and a visitor’s browser sends a GPC signal, the visitor’s opt-out preference is automatically respected.

In this scenario:
* The opt-out will be applied automatically, without requiring the visitor to interact with the cookie banner.

* No “Opt-Out” button will be displayed on the cookie banner for that visitor.

* The store will automatically treat the visitor as opted-out of the sale or sharing of personal data, in accordance with the GPC signal.

This behavior ensures compliance with privacy regulations that recognize the GPC signal as a valid request to opt-out of data selling or sharing.
