What is a privacy preference center?

A privacy preference center lets people review and change the cookie and consent choices a site already recorded.

Geometric cover for an article on privacy preference centers

A privacy preference center is the place a person returns to after the banner. It lists the purposes already offered and lets them allow, refuse, or withdraw an optional one.

If withdrawal requires an email to support, the organization will be slow, and the record of the change will be weak.

Current choice versus history

Updating a preference should change what tags are allowed to do now. It should not erase the fact that a different choice was recorded earlier. Consent Guru keeps historical evidence according to your retention settings and any legal hold.

Make it findable

Link the center from the footer or a persistent control. A center that visitors cannot reopen does not meet a standard that withdrawal be as easy as the original choice.
