Why would you need a consent management platform, if you’ve already acquired your users’ consent? Simply put, it’s a GDPR requirement.
In this post, we’ll explain what are the exact requirements and how to set up the perfect consent management monitoring system for your website or app.
As you may know, consent is one of the legal bases of the GDPR.
Because it’s such an important issue, it’s mandatory that you keep clear records and that you’re able to demonstrate that the user has given consent; should problems arise, the burden of proof lies with the data controller, so keeping accurate records is vital.
Unfortunately, keeping a spreadsheet with your users’ names and whether consent was provided is not enough.

At any moment, Data Protection Authorities could ask you to demonstrate whether you’ve collected consents lawfully, so it’s better to be safe.
There are some online tools that allow you to record the consents you collect automatically.
