Quick Answer
Every time a visitor accepts, rejects, or customizes their cookie preferences, Consentico logs it. View logs in the dashboard, export as CSV for audits.
What gets logged
For each consent decision, we record:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Timestamp | When the decision was made |
| Consent choices | Which categories were accepted/rejected |
| Country | Visitor's country (from IP, not stored) |
| Page URL | Where the consent was given |
| Banner version | Which version of your banner was shown |
| Consent ID | Unique identifier for this decision |
We don't store IP addresses or any personally identifiable information. The country is derived from IP at the time of consent but the IP itself is discarded.

How long are logs kept?
| Plan | Retention |
|---|---|
| Free | 30 days |
| Pro | 365 days |
| Business | Unlimited |
If you're on the Free plan and need longer retention for compliance, consider upgrading to Pro. GDPR recommends keeping consent records for as long as you process the data.
Consent proof
Each log entry includes a snapshot of:
- The exact banner text shown to the visitor
- The categories offered
- Your privacy policy URL at the time
- Whether geo-targeting was active
This proves what the visitor actually saw when they made their decision — important for GDPR Article 7 ("conditions for consent") compliance.
