• Journey Designer: Replace cookie banners with embedded, context-aware consent journeys. Increase first-party data capture by integrating consent choices into the visitor experience.
• Tracker Management: Respect visitor opt-outs and preferences without disrupting data monetization, with comprehensive tag scanning and alerting of first and third-party data collection across all digital properties.
