consent_status

This is an event that serves as a retrocompatibility if you're coming from V2, we suggest to use UC_CONSENT event if you're not migrating from V2.

Usercentrics provides Data Layer and Window events that specifically fire on consent changes.

You can check the contents of the dataLayer by using window.dataLayer

Below the structure of the consent_status is represented:

{
    "action": "onInitialPageLoad",
    "event": "consent_status",

    "Usercentrics Consent Management Platform": true,
    "Service Two": false,
    "ucCategory": {
      "essential": true,
      "functional": false,
      "marketing": null,
    },

The action that triggered the event. Below are all the possible values for this property:

Value Description
onAcceptAllServices Triggered once you click “Accept All”

onEssentialChange Triggered when the consent state changes due to an essential/mandatory service update, without a specific user action (Accept All, Deny All, Save, etc.) being attributable to the change
onInitialPageLoad Triggered on page load
onNonEURegion Triggered when the visitor is detected outside the EU/EEA and the setup is configured to apply only to EU visitors, so consent is applied implicitly without showing the banner

  • When you replace current consents by using a given Controller ID
  • When you use Cross Domain Consent Sharing
  • Via WebView User Session Continuity
onTcfStringChange Triggered when the TCF consent string (tcString) is updated from an external source rather than through direct interaction with this banner
