Working with Legislations/Regulations
When working with international websites or apps you may want to apply different legislations or regulations depending on where the visitor is located. This can be done for each CMP under Menu > CMPs > Legal settings.
When enabling a legislation, the following changes will be applied:
- Visitors will see the consent layer in the corresponding geo region (see Geo rules below)
- Layer logic can be set per legislation
- Recall icon (preferences icon) can be set per legislation
- Additional Legal bases can be set for this legislation for each purpose and vendor
- Additional texts for headline and welcome text can be set for each design for each legislation (see below)

Geo Rules
For each legislation you will set the geo-target, which can be a region/group of countries (e.g. Europe/EEA), a country (e.g. Canada) or a state within a country (e.g. California). If multiple Geo Rules apply to the same visitor, the rule with the lowest level is used.
Example Setup
Imagine the following legislations are enabled with the following geo rules:
- GDPR - Geo rule: Worldwide
- CCPA - Geo rule: USA
- CPA - Geo rule: Colorado
Depending on the visitor's location the system will apply the legislations in this example as follows:
- Visitor from China: GDPR will be applied
- Visitor from Canada: GDPR will be applied
- Visitor from New York/USA: CCPA will be applied
- Visitor from Denver/Colorado: CPA will be applied
Layer logic
For each legislation you can set the layer logic. This controls if, how and when the consent layer is shown:
| Layer logic | Description |
| Ask for Opt-In (show notification) | Show an Opt-In layer when the visitor enters the page. Toggles are off by default and visitor must accept to enable purposes/vendors. |
| Allow Opt-in (no notification) | Does not show an Opt-In layer when the visitor enters the page. Toggles are off by default and visitor must manually open the layer to accept and enable purposes/vendors. |
| (Deprecated) Ask for Opt-out (show notification) - Okay only |
(Do not use this setting anymore, will be removed in the future) Show an Opt-out layer when the visitor enters the page. Toggles are on by default and the visitor must actively reject to disable purposes/vendors. If no action is taken, all purposes/vendors remain on. In addition, the system will show only one "Okay" button instead of the button setting chosen in the design. |
| Ask for Opt-out (show notification) | Show an Opt-out layer when the visitor enters the page. Toggles are on by default and the visitor must actively reject to disable purposes/vendors. If no action is taken, all purposes/vendors remain on. |
| (Deprecated) Ask for Opt-out (no notification) - Okay only |
(Do not use this setting anymore, will be removed in the future) Do not show an Opt-out layer when the visitor enters the page. Toggles are on by default and the visitor must actively open the layer and reject to disable purposes/vendors. If no action is taken, all purposes/vendors remain on. In addition, the system will show only one "Okay" button instead of the button setting chosen in the design. |
| Allow Opt-out (no notification) | Do not show an Opt-out layer when the visitor enters the page. Toggles are on by default and the visitor must actively open the layer and reject to disable purposes/vendors. If no action is taken, all purposes/vendors remain on. |
| Do not allow Opt-in or Opt-out | No layer is shown and the visitor is not able to open the layer manually. |
Legal bases
For each active legislation that is enabled, a flag icon will appear in the corresponding "Legal basis" column in the vendor list and purpose list. Learn more about how to use legal bases here.
Text changes
For each design you can set texts for the headline, welcome text and others. For each legislation you will find several text options and can adjust them accordingly. Depending on the visitors location, the system will then use the matching texts.
