When does Osano trigger privacy obligations?
Installation triggers immediate consent obligations
The moment you deploy Osano's consent banner on your site, you begin collecting consent signals and interaction data from visitors. Osano itself does not set cookies by default, but it manages the lifecycle of third-party cookies and trackers—meaning it controls when pixels, analytics, and advertising scripts fire based on user consent choices.
### GDPR applies if you have EU visitors
Under GDPR Article 5(1)(a) (lawfulness, fairness, transparency) and the ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3), you must obtain *prior* explicit consent before loading non-essential cookies or trackers. Installing Osano does not automatically satisfy this—you must:
- –Display the banner *before* non-essential scripts execute
- –Ensure Osano is configured to block tracking scripts until consent is given
- –Document your lawful basis in your privacy policy
### CCPA applies if you have California residents
Under CCPA Section 1798.100, California residents have a right to know what personal information is collected. Osano helps you disclose this, but you remain liable for accuracy. You must update your privacy policy to explain what data flows Osano manages and provide a "Do Not Sell" link.
### First concrete step
Before launch, audit which third-party scripts Osano will gate. Document each one, its purpose, and the legal basis for processing. Update your privacy policy and cookie policy to name Osano itself and describe how it manages consent.
