# Consent Handling in JENTIS

### Introduction to Consent Handling in JENTIS

One major difference between JENTIS and other tag management systems is that **JENTIS actively maintains and manages the consent situation**. This means customers do not need to handle consent logic for individual tools within triggers.

JENTIS introduces a dedicated abstraction layer that links each tool to its corresponding vendor. Vendor consents are then mapped by the Consent Management Platform (CMP) implemented on your site. Once your CMP is connected to JENTIS and its decisions are mapped to vendors, **JENTIS automatically determines which tools are allowed to run and which are not**—no extra trigger logic required.

This approach significantly **reduces configuration effort** and makes ongoing **maintenance much easier**.

In the following section, we will explain:

* How JENTIS handles consent decisions in detail
* Our caching mechanisms
* Reprocessing strategies

Our goal is to make it as clear and straightforward as possible how JENTIS manages consents for your tools.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.jentis.com/consent-center/how-jentis-handles-consent.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
