# About the Consent Policy Manager API

The Consent Policy Manager API allows you to manage site visitor consent policies for GDPR and CCPA compliance.

Each site has a default consent policy assigned to all visitors. Visitors can customize their consent policy through cookie consent banners, overriding the default settings.

Use this API to:

- Get the current visitor's consent policy.
- Set a custom consent policy for a visitor.
- Reset a visitor's policy to the site default.
- Listen for consent policy changes.

Site owners can configure cookie consent banners in their site's privacy center.

Consent Policy Manager 

Gets the site visitor's consent policy regarding allowed cookies and 3rd-party data transfers for GDPR or CCPA compliance.

Retrieves the site visitor's consent policy details, including which cookies are allowed and whether data transfer to 3rd parties is permitted.

```typescript
import { consentPolicyManager } from '@wix/site';

const policyDetails = consentPolicyManager.getCurrentConsentPolicy();
const policy = policyDetails.policy;

```

Get a member's consent policy


getCurrentConsentPolicy

The current consent policy details, or undefined if not available

PolicyDetails

handler

ConsentPolicyChangedHandler

Triggered when a site visitor's consent policy was changed using setConsentPolicy() or reset using resetConsentPolicy().

Use the onConsentPolicyChanged() method for code you want to run after the site visitor's current consent policy was changed.

```typescript
import { consentPolicyManager } from '@wix/site';

consentPolicyManager.onConsentPolicyChanged((event) => {
  const policy = event.policy;
  console.log(event);
});

// Full event object:
// {
//   "defaultPolicy": false,
//   "policy": {
//     "functional": false,
//     "analytics": true,
//     "advertising": false,
//     "dataToThirdParty": false,
//     "essential": true
//   }
// }
```

Removes the current policy from the site visitor's browser
and resets the site visitor's consent policy to the default policy for the site.

const policy = {
  essential: true,
  functional: true,
  analytics: true,
  advertising: false,
  dataToThirdParty: false,
};

const successCallback = (policyDetails: PolicyDetails) => {
  console.log(policyDetails);
};

const errorCallback = (error: string) => {
  console.log(error);
};

const policyDetails = await consentPolicyManager.setConsentPolicy(policy, successCallback, errorCallback);
console.log(policyDetails);
```
