How to comply with LGPD using ConsentX

  1. 1

    Scan your website

    Run a free scan to find every cookie and tracker on your site, so you know exactly what needs consent under LGPD.

  2. 2

    Show a geo-aware consent banner

    Add the ConsentX banner. It detects each visitor region and shows the consent experience that LGPD requires, automatically.

  3. 3

    Block trackers until consent

    Keep non-essential cookies and trackers blocked until the visitor agrees, so nothing fires before consent.

  4. 4

    Record tamper-evident proof

    Every choice is stored as a tamper-evident consent receipt you can produce in a LGPD audit.

  5. 5

    Handle data requests on time
