Adding a Consent Field

The Consent category stores the user’s consent information as per the privacy policy. Perform the following steps to add a Consent category:

1. Enter a Catalogue Field. As you type, suggestions based on the existing Catalogue Fields appear. You can choose a suggested Catalogue Field or click +Add Catalogue Field to add a new field.

2. Map the Catalogue Field to its corresponding Source Field. Same as the above behaviour, you can choose a suggested Source Field or click +Add a new Source Field to add a new field.

3. Enter a description for easy identification.

4. Choose String as the Data Type. Consent only stores Yes or No type of value. Therefore, the only Data Type allowed is String.

5. Choose Consent as the Category.

6. Choose one of the following Regulations:

   • GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation
   • CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act
   • Others – If your organisation follows any other regulation apart from the above-mentioned options
7. As per advanced settings, define the TTL for consent. Forever is the default value. You can choose the number of Days for TTL as per your requirement. A consent purpose maintains a timestamp property that gets updated every time a state is communicated. This is used to determine how long the value can be retained based on the TTL value.

8. Save the changes.
