Consent mode lets sites control when PureStats sends analytics events.

## Default behavior

Without consent mode, the tracker sends pageviews when it loads, subject to site settings such as path exclusions, domain validation and bot filtering.

## Consent-gated behavior

When consent mode is enabled, the tracker waits until your consent banner or CMP grants analytics permission.

Example:

```js
window.purestats?.consent.grant();
```

If consent is denied, call `window.purestats?.consent.deny()`. The consent mode itself can be managed in Site Settings; you do not need to add `data-consent-mode` to the tracker snippet.

## Integrating with a CMP

Connect your consent management platform to PureStats by calling the consent method when the visitor chooses analytics consent. Store consent according to your legal and product requirements.

## Revoking consent

If a visitor revokes consent during a session, call:

```js
window.purestats?.consent.revoke();
```

After this, your application should stop sending analytics events.

## Verification

When consent mode is active, Site Health may show script found and script loads before first hit received. That is expected until consent is granted.
