The Consent Network

The Consent Network is built around our browser extension Usercentrics Data Shield. It enables website owners to provide their users a seamless, non-disruptive way to opt in to cookies and other tracking technologies. By installing the Usercentrics Data Shield browser extension, visitors no longer need to be presented with cookie banners every time they visit a new website. Increased user experience and engagement, an uninterrupted user journey, as well as improved privacy and compliance, are the benefits for websites that join the network.

To provide easy access to the Usercentrics Data Shield browser extension to your visitors, the Consent Network is activated by default in your Cookiebot Admin Interface.

The Consent Network works by allowing websites to promote the browser extension Usercentrics Data Shield to their visitors within their cookie banner. Once installed, the extension will answer cookie banners automatically based on the user’s privacy preferences.

Being part of the Consent Network provides a number of benefits, including increased user experience and engagement, an uninterrupted user journey, as well as improved privacy and compliance. Furthermore, it is known that Consent Fatigue can negatively impact opt-in rates. Usercentrics Data Shield specifically combats Consent Fatigue and offers you the opportunity to significantly increase your opt-in rates.
