Consent Mode

Control when Hardal forwards events to destinations based on user consent.

Marketing destinations have Consent Mode on by default. When enabled, Hardal only forwards events that include consent: "true" in their payload. Events without it still reach Hardal for your dashboards and analytics — they just don't get forwarded to destinations with Consent Mode enabled.

Default states

  • Marketing destinations (Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit) — on by default
  • Analytics destinations (GA4 and others) — on by default
  • Custom Webhooks — off by default

Include consent: "true" in your event payload when the user has granted tracking consent:

hardal.track("purchase", {
  revenue: 149.90,
  currency: "TRY",
  order_id: "ORD-456",
  consent: "true"
});

Toggling per destination

Open destination settings (⚙️) → Advanced tab → toggle Consent Mode on or off → Save.

Turning off Consent Mode on a Marketing destination means all events get forwarded regardless of consent status. Only do this if your regional regulations allow it.

Common patterns

EU / Turkey e-commerce: Keep defaults. Pass consent: "true" only after the user accepts your consent banner.

Internal webhook: Consent Mode is off by default for webhooks. Toggle it on if the webhook forwards data to a third-party system that requires consent.
