Consent Dashboard for Cookie Control
The new Consent Dashboard offers visual representation for the consent records of your website.
If you have enabled consent recording for your licence and own a paid subscription, then you can view the consent statistics of your PRO licences on the dashboard for a year back and according to the date you have enabled consent recording. This is for users of Cookie Control version 8 or higher.
What are the numbers on the Consent Dashboard ?
On the Consent Dashboard there are three pie graphs and one line graph. The data presented is based on the daily aggregation of anonymized consent logs received for your site during the selected report dates. The aggregation process usually completes in the morning of the following day, so please allow up to 24 hours for any changes in your Cookie Control configuration to be presented.
The pie graph visualisations include overviews of consent acceptance rates, the total number of unique users, their country of origin and their device usage. The line graph can be viewed over time at the bottom of the page at either a daily, weekly or monthly frequency.
How to use the Consent Dashboard ?
The Consent Dashboard can be accessed from the left hand-side menu once you are logged in in the user area. To configure the dashboard you can click on the cog icon located at the top right of your screen. You can select the licence the website belongs to and then the paricular domain of the website if your selected licence has more than one domains. After than you can choose the dates' range for the stats to appear on your screen. The numbers you will see will be relevant to when you have enabled consent recording on your domain.
After you submit the form the graphs will be displayed on your screen. The percentages are displayed just under the graphs and the total numbers can be viewed when you hover on the different colors of the pie graph.
