Debugger
The Consent Pro Debugger is an overlay that runs on your own site and reports what the runtime actually loaded — the banner it chose, whether the runtime is active, and which tracker categories are blocked before the visitor interacts.
Open the debugger
Click Preview in the project header. Consent Pro opens your production domain in a new tab with a signed debugger token attached, and the overlay loads with the page.
Opening the preview is also what completes the Preview banner on your website step in Initial setup — seeing the banner in place is the one check Consent Pro cannot run for you.
The overlay starts collapsed as a Consent Pro Debugger pill. Click it to expand.
Access is token-based
The token comes from your project, so the debugger loads on your production domain without leaving anything enabled for ordinary visitors. Open it through Preview rather than constructing the URL by hand.
What it reports
Banner Setup
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Geolocation | The region the runtime resolved for this visit |
| Banner Type | The banner that region maps to, such as Opt In |
Initial Checks
- Consent Pro Runtime Active — the runtime loaded and is running on the page.
- Correct banner displayed — the banner on the page matches the one the resolved region expects.
Trackers before user interaction
Each tracker category is listed with the number of trackers in it and whether it is Allowed or Blocked before the visitor has responded. Under an opt-in banner, every non-essential category should read Blocked.
Simulating another region
Geolocation can be changed to another region to see which banner that region resolves to, without a VPN. The banner type updates to match the region mapping in your project.
Region mappings must be published before the debugger reflects them — see Publishing Changes.
Reset the banner
Reset Banner clears the stored consent for the site so the banner appears again as it would for a first-time visitor. Use it after changing banner settings, since a stored consent otherwise suppresses the banner on later visits.
