About The CMP Config API

CMP (Consent Management Platform) configuration allows site owners to manage privacy settings, specifically the visibility of social components (for example, Google Maps, Facebook Like buttons) on a site until site visitors provide their consent.

The CMP Config API enables you to manage privacy settings in compliance with data protection regulations. It includes a toggle that controls the visibility of social components (e.g., Google Maps, Facebook Like buttons) until visitors provide consent.

When enabled, these elements remain blocked, displaying a placeholder instead. This ensures that no cookies or third-party scripts are loaded without user approval.

Before you begin

• A site must be published before creating a CMP config for it. CMP configs can't be created for draft sites.
