FidesJS: JavaScript SDK for Fides
FidesJS is a JavaScript SDK to integrate Fides consent into any website or app! Commonly referred to as a Consent Management Platform (CMP), FidesJS includes all the UI components (banners, modals, etc.), state management, and utility functions you need to collect consent & enforce data privacy in your application.
For example, FidesJS is used to:
- automatically configure the current user session with the applicable default consent preferences for their location (e.g. opt-out of data sales, opt-in to analytics, etc.)
- show a consent UI component (banner, modal, etc.) to the current user with the applicable privacy notices for them to opt-in, opt-out, etc.
- store the current user's consent preferences in a first-party cookie to remember their choices in future sessions
- expose the current user's consent preferences via a simple
Fides.consentJavaScript API to integrate consent into your own application - dispatch events on the global
window(e.g.FidesUpdated,FidesUIShown) to easily sync consent changes to your application in real-time based on the current user's actions - integrate the current user's consent to other scripts via integrations with Google Tag Manager, IAB TCF, etc.
- ...and more!
