About ConsentsDB service
ConsentsDB is a service for keeping records of consents (proofs of visitors’ consents and declines to tracking) collected through the consent banner in the WP Full Picture plugin.
Proofs are stores in a secure database in France. The data is not kept in your WordPress database to prevent tampering with it (courts may not accept records of consent if you can easily modify them).
When will I need proofs of consent?
You have to show proof that visitors consented to tracking:
- during audits or investigations,
- when asked by authorities or data protection agencies,
- if a user complains about being tracked without permission,
- and in legal cases, where privacy issues are involved.

What do records of consent prove?
Records of consent prove that:
- your visitors gave their permission (or declined) to tracking and using their personal data,
- that tracking tools on your website were set up correctly and respected visitors’ choices,
- that the choice was given freely,
- that the visitors were given all the required information to make this choice.

What data is collected and saved as a proof
For every recorder proof, WP Full Picture collects and saves the following information:
- The IP address of the device used to visit the website
- A unique, random device identifier created by the WP Full Picture plugin
- Consents given (or their lack)
- Time when the consent was given (as reported by the user’s device and the website server + timezone)
- Copy of all texts in the consent banner at the time of consent
- Copy of important WP Full Picture settings, formatted for readability
- Information on previous consents given by the user (if available)
- Geolocated country of the visitor
- Mode of work of the consent banner at the moment of obtaining consent (opt-in, opt-out, info only)
- List of cookie names saved on the browser when consent was made (before loading tracking tools requiring consent)
- Copy of the privacy policy current at the time of collecting consent
How to find a proof of consent from a specific user
To find a proof of consent from a specific user:
- Ask your visitor to:
- Visit your website
- Open the consent settings window using the method you provide (either an icon in the bottom left corner of the screen or a link in the privacy policy)
- Copy the Consent ID and consent date that will be displayed at the bottom of the popup
- Log in to your Consents DB account and find the consent by its ID and date of consent
