Build and operate ConsentKit with one public reference.

ConsentKit is an America-first consent management platform. It detects visitor jurisdiction, renders a state-appropriate privacy interface, blocks or unlocks tracking categories, records consent choices, and keeps Google Consent Mode in sync.

New to ConsentKit? Create a free account and the dashboard generates this same install tag with your Site ID filled in.

<script
  src="https://widget.consentkit.us/v1.js"
  data-site-id="YOUR_SITE_ID"
  async
></script>

The dashboard login and signup pages offer one-click Google sign-in next to the classic email and password form. When the Google account email matches an existing ConsentKit account, you land in the same account, so both sign-in methods stay interchangeable.

Every plan, including Free, controls where the privacy element sits and how the widget presents itself. Placement, theme, and the always-on banner option never require an upgrade.

Starter and above unlock the full banner design controls from the site configuration page in the dashboard.

Teams that deploy tags through Google Tag Manager can install ConsentKit with the official GTM template instead of editing site code. The template loads the widget and applies the Google Consent Mode v2 denied defaults shown in the Widget section, so analytics and advertising tags stay quiet until the visitor decides.

The GTM Community Template Gallery listing is not live yet. Until it is, manual import from the public repository is the supported path.

ConsentKit maps visitor location to the matching consent experience. The platform helps with technical consent collection and signal handling, but it does not replace legal advice.

For GDPR-mode traffic (EEA, UK, and Switzerland), ConsentKit implements the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework v2.3, so ad tech vendors on your pages can read consent signals the standard way.

• Exposes the standard __tcfapi interface and generates the Transparency & Consent string, including the mandatory disclosed-vendors segment.
• The Global Vendor List loads through the ConsentKit edge proxy, so visitors never call third-party infrastructure to resolve it.
• TCF activates only in GDPR mode. US opt-out visitors are unaffected and never get a TCF signal.

Configure it per site in the dashboard under Configuration, on the TCF / IAB Europe card: enable the toggle and paste your vendor IDs from the IAB Global Vendor List.

Paid plans can invite team members to share the workload. Invites are plain links, so onboarding a teammate takes seconds and never depends on email delivery.

API base URL is https://api.consentkit.us. Dashboard endpoints use JWT authentication. Widget configuration and consent recording are public routes with domain and rate-limit protections. Site read endpoints also accept per-site API keys (Pro and above) as Bearer tokens.

curl https://api.consentkit.us/api/v1/sites/YOUR_SITE_ID/config

curl -X POST https://api.consentkit.us/api/v1/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"[email protected]","password":"your-password"}'

Pro and Agency sites can mint per-site API keys from the site configuration page for read-only programmatic access. Send the key as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer ck_live_...

• Keys read consents, stats, analytics, and raw logs for their own site only — writes stay on the dashboard JWT.
• Each key is rate limited to 60 requests per minute, independent of other keys and dashboard sessions.
• The full key is shown once at creation; afterwards the dashboard lists prefixes only, and keys can be revoked at any time.

Paid upgrades use Stripe Checkout and the Stripe Customer Portal. Managed Payments is enabled for production checkout, and plan state is reflected in the dashboard after webhook processing. Every paid plan can be billed monthly or annually — annual billing includes 2 months free, and the billing interval is chosen at checkout or from the dashboard billing page.

Every paid plan can bill monthly or yearly. Yearly billing charges ten months for twelve — two months free — and the interval is picked at checkout or on the dashboard billing page before you upgrade.

• Starter, Pro, and Agency all offer both intervals; the plan capabilities are identical either way.
• The dashboard billing page shows monthly and yearly prices side by side, with the yearly discount called out.

Plans are metered by the number of pageviews where the widget loads, counted per calendar month in UTC: 10,000 on Free, 100,000 on Starter, 500,000 on Pro, and unlimited on Agency.

• The widget pings the API once per pageview, and counters reset automatically when a new month starts.
• Usage meters on the site and billing pages show current consumption next to the plan limit.
• Crossing the limit surfaces a warning banner in the dashboard with a direct upgrade path.

Two free utilities are available without an account, whether or not you use the paid platform.
