Consent receipts

Append-only records of subject choices.

Consent receipts

What it is

An append-only record of what a subject chose, tied to a consent version (and related hashes/ids as stored by the product).

Why it exists

Without receipts, “they clicked Accept” is not reconstructible. Receipts make choices durable and queryable in the console.

How Erasure uses it

  • Created when the SDK posts consent after a choice
  • Preference updates create new receipts—not in-place edits
  • Listed under Receipts in the project
  • Inform publish evidence (counts for a version)

Receipts are for operational proof. They are not a substitute for legal counsel.
