Consent Management
Capturing, storing, and honoring user consent for data processing and communications, often to satisfy GDPR and similar laws. Central to customer identity and preference centers.
Consent is a data problem disguised as a UI problem. The regulator's question is not whether a checkbox existed but whether you can produce, for a given user and a given moment, what they were shown and what they agreed to. That means versioned consent records tied to policy text, not a boolean column. Under eIDAS 2.0 the wallet model pushes consent further toward the holder, so verifiers request specific attributes rather than receiving a profile.
