Understand your consent requirements
Different businesses and regions use different consent models, so start with your actual requirements rather than copying another setup.
Step by step
- Check whether your site requires explicit consent before analytics scripts can load.
- Review your banner or consent platform settings.
- Decide whether ClickSight belongs under analytics, performance, or another category in your consent tool.

Control when the tracker loads
The main goal is to make sure ClickSight loads only under the allowed consent state.

Step by step
- If you use GTM, trigger the ClickSight tag only when the required consent state is granted.
- If you install directly, wrap the script load in the consent mechanism used by your site.
- Document the chosen behavior so future site updates do not accidentally bypass it.

Test both scenarios
A consent setup is only correct if both acceptance and rejection behave as expected.
Step by step
- Open the site in a fresh browser.
- Reject analytics consent and confirm ClickSight does not send data if that is your intended behavior.
- Accept consent and confirm sessions begin recording correctly.
