Ask the agent in a [thread](/docs/threads): it checks the consent state of every hit (each piece of data your site sends) against what actually fired. ## Find pixels that fire before consent > Is any pixel firing before consent in the EU? The agent checks each advertising tool against the consent category it needs in your consent platform (CMP). It lists the vendors that fired without that consent, with their share of hits. It also separates the causes, for example vendors that started after a CMP change and vendors that were never set to wait for consent. Follow-ups break it down by country and landing page, show example sessions, or check the consent behavior live on your site. The agent opens your site in a browser only with your approval. ![The agent traces pre-consent firing to a CMP change](/images/docs-usecase-compliance-consent.png) The agent traces pre-consent firing to a CMP change ## Trace the change behind it > Which consent change explains it, and since when? The answer names the configuration change in the CMP or the tag manager, when it was published and which vendors it affects. ## Get a report for legal Need something to hand to legal? Ask for the result as a report: **+** > ** Report mode** in the thread. A consent compliance report can cover the acceptance rate and its trend, the hits sent without the required consent by destination, the causes in the CMP and the tag manager, and the steps to fix them. Share it, or download it as a PDF. See [Reports](/docs/reports). ## Keep checking it Three consent audits are ready in the Library: **Consent implementation**, ** Consent acceptance rate** and ** Cookie banner precision**. Set their notifications so your team hears from them by email or Slack only when something needs attention. See [Audits](/docs/audits). ## Related - [Consent & Cookie Monitoring](/docs/consent-and-cookie-monitoring) - [Privacy Monitoring](/docs/data-privacy-monitoring) - [Audits](/docs/audits) - [Reports](/docs/reports) [← Previous**For Performance & Paid Media**](/docs/paid-media-use-cases) [Next →** For Agencies & Consultancies**](/docs/agency-use-cases) Was this useful?
