What Consenti is

Consenti is a free, open-source consent management platform with a browser widget and an optional Node.js backend. The frontend widget can work by itself, storing consent in a signed browser cookie. With the backend enabled, consent records are stored in SQLite by default, with MongoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL also supported. Its dashboard manages profiles, consent records, audit logs, and role-based access controls. Framework support includes Vanilla JS, React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and Nuxt; React, Vue, and Angular have framework-native adapters. Consent mappers cover Google Consent Mode v2, Meta, Adobe, and Segment, and listed backend plugins include BigQuery, Segment, Snowflake, webhooks, and Slack. The project lists maintained coverage for GDPR/UK-GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and US state laws, and LGPD; DPDPA and other regulations are in development. TCF v2.3 and GPP binary encoding need optional peer dependencies, while COPPA parental verification requires the deployer's backend. Consenti is self-hosted under Apache 2.0, without warranty; configuration alone does not ensure legal compliance.
