AesirX Features: Consent Behavior Metrics

Why Consent Behavior Metrics Matters

Graphic Image

Most consent tools reduce user behavior to a single opt-in rate, which hides how consent is actually applied and changed. This makes it difficult to understand whether users are actively accepting consent, selectively allowing categories, relying on default settings, or withdrawing consent later. Without this clarity, changes in data availability are often misattributed to technical issues or campaign performance rather than consent behavior.

Consent Behavior Metrics addresses this by showing a structured breakdown of consent states, including opt-in, opt-out, partial consent, rejection, and revocation. These states are recorded as they occur, reflecting both explicit user actions and default consent models applied through configuration or regional rules. From a technical perspective, the data is derived directly from consent state changes within the CMP, rather than inferred signals or secondary analytics.

This visibility allows organizations to review how consent choices evolve over time, identify patterns that may indicate friction or disengagement, and better contextualize shifts in analytics data. It also supports clearer internal and external reporting by grounding explanations in observable consent behavior. Over time, these insights help teams refine consent design and decision-making based on measured patterns, without relying on assumptions about user intent.

Aggregates behavior trends

Consent Behavior Metrics records consent state changes and groups them into opt-in, opt-out, partial, rejected, and revoked states for analysis over time.

Each consent state change is recorded when consent is submitted, updated, or left unchanged, allowing both explicit user choices and default consent states to be reflected consistently over time.Add

Consent states are aggregated at reporting level to highlight patterns and trends, while avoiding links to individual identities or attempts to infer intent behind a specific consent outcome.

Consent Behavior Metrics in AesirX goes beyond a single opt-in percentage by separating full consent, partial consent, rejection, and revocation. This reveals how users actually interact with consent choices over time, rather than compressing different behaviors into one number that hides meaningful patterns.

In Consent Behavior Metrics, each consent action represents a distinct type of user decision, not just a variation of opt-in. Opt-In Consent reflects users who actively accepted all available consent categories at the time of interaction, showing a clear and complete agreement. Partial Consent captures users who chose specific categories while rejecting others, indicating deliberate boundary-setting rather than indecision. Rejected Consent records users who declined all non-essential categories, making an explicit refusal visible instead of masking it as missing data. Revoked Consent applies when a user initially provided consent and later withdrew it, highlighting how consent can change over time as trust, expectations, or understanding evolves. Together, these actions allow AesirX to present consent as an ongoing behavioral pattern rather than a single moment, helping teams interpret shifts in data availability and user response accurately.

Consent Behavior Metrics in AesirX provides visibility into how consent states are applied and changed over time. The breakdown includes explicit actions, such as opt-in, partial consent, rejection, and revocation, as well as default-based states where consent was not actively changed. This helps teams assess whether changes in data availability align with observed consent choices rather than assuming technical issues. Reviewing these patterns can inform discussions around consent wording, category structure, or banner layout by showing how responses differ across consent states. The same metrics can be compared across sites or regions to support consistent reporting and ongoing evaluation of consent behavior based on measured trends.
