# Consent ID To fully understand how consent information is applied in the JENTIS Tag Manager, one essential concept needs to be explained: **Consent ID**. Every time consent is given, JENTIS generates a **Consent ID** that contains: * The **exact timestamp** when the consent was given * A **unique identifier** to make this consent record traceable * The **consent details** (true/false status per category or tool/vendor) This mechanism is critical for **legal and compliance purposes**, as it allows JENTIS to provide accurate consent history for any user in the event of a data disclosure request. #### Why Consent ID Matters * **Parallel storage** – Consent data is stored in JENTIS in addition to your CMP, ensuring redundancy * **Reliability** – In rare cases, CMP data and JENTIS data might differ (e.g., due to cookie deletion) * **Traceability** – Every consent decision remains linked to a unique ID for auditing #### Edge Case Example In the unlikely event that a CMP loses consent data (e.g., a user deletes cookies), JENTIS can still maintain the correct consent status thanks to the stored Consent ID. * **Why this is correct** – Cookie deletion is not an explicit withdrawal of consent; it may be a technical issue or malfunction * **Benefit** – JENTIS continues to apply tracking rules correctly even if CMP-stored data is lost, ensuring compliance and accuracy --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.jentis.com/consent-center/how-jentis-handles-consent/jentis-cmp-connectors/consent-id.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
