# How do I check my consent status?

**How do I make sure consent takes effect correctly?**

With two checks that show different things. The rule check under “Setup → Consent” runs six cases against your saved setting, without your website. Whether the website reports consent and withdrawal correctly only shows in the live test with real page views: for each signal the time, source and reported consent status.

## Rule check: the setting

1. Open “Setup” and the “Consent” card there.
2. Under “Change the setting”, select your consent tool; the standard categories are mapped automatically.
3. Save. The rule check runs along with it; “Check rules” repeats it. All six cases should show “passed”.

| Case | Expected with “block_all” |
| --- | --- |
| Page view without a decision | not accepted |
| Page view with analytics consent | accepted |
| Advertising event with analytics consent only | not accepted |
| Advertising event with marketing consent | accepted |
| Purchase from the browser without a decision | not accepted |
| Page view after a withdrawal | not accepted |

> **Note:** “Passed” means your setting accepts or rejects in that case as it should. It says nothing about your website, not even in an account where no script has been installed yet.

## Live test: the website

1. Open your website in a new window and make a choice in the banner.
2. Look at the live test under “Setup”: every signal that arrived is listed with time, source, environment and reported consent status.
3. Consent, refuse or withdraw and check that the status in the list follows. After a refusal nothing new arrives.

> **Legal note:** Both checks are technical controls and are no substitute for legal advice.
