Start by connecting your site or app and dropping in the lightweight tag snippet. Harvest Cookie Guard scans active scripts and cookies, maps where data flows, and flags anything that could expose personal or payment information. From there, you set guardrails: define what can run before consent, choose country rules, and pick default behaviors for new tags. Use the preview mode to validate that no tracking fires until a user opts in, then publish across environments with a single push. If you need personalization or experiments, link them to specific consent purposes so returning visitors are recognized only when they’ve agreed.
Next, design your consent experience. Customize the banner and preference center with your brand, pick layouts for mobile and desktop, and translate content for each market. Build a policy page directly from your data inventory, then version it so every change is logged. The guided assistant checks for missing disclosures, mismatched purposes, or scripts that could drop identifiers without permission, and highlights exact pages or tags to fix. When policies update, schedule an automatic refresh across all properties and keep a read-only offline copy available for legal reviews and field teams with limited connectivity.
For compliance tasks, run privacy assessments using built-in templates. Tie each question to the cookies, tags, and systems found in your data map, then score risks and assign remediation steps with due dates. If something goes wrong—like a rogue pixel or a partner tag over-collecting data—incident workflows help you contain the issue (auto-block offending tags), analyze impact, collect evidence, and produce a regulator-ready report. The live dashboard shows opt-in rates by region, how many trackers were suppressed, experiment outcomes, and open tasks. Schedule weekly exports to stakeholders or pipe the metrics to your BI tool via API.
Collaboration is streamlined for small teams. Marketers can request a new analytics or advertising tag, developers map the data fields, and compliance reviews purposes before go-live. Staging checks ensure every tag respects consent and do-not-track signals; CI/CD hooks can fail a deployment if a rule is broken. Use role-based access to separate who can edit policies, run tests, or approve changes. White-label everything for client work, run localized setups for different brands, and keep shared notes and approvals next to each site. As your stack evolves, add new tools with confidence—every change is tested, documented, and reversible without touching production code.
