What is Consent Management?
With the growing number of security breaches over the past decade, it's no surprise that privacy concerns and accompanying legislation have become hot topics. This has also prompted a huge shift in how websites and applications obtain user consent for collecting their data, otherwise known as consent management.
Implementing consent management for your users can quickly become a monumental task. First, you have to understand the privacy regulations that affect your users. You may serve users from all over the world, so the exact regulations will vary. After you understand what you need to implement, then comes the how.
Managing user opt-ins, email consent, communications, data storage, and more on your own can become overwhelming. Luckily, there are a few companies out there that have made consent management their bread and butter!
Let's look at some of the ways you can implement consent management in your application using the Auth0 Marketplace.

Integrating OneTrust into your application is simple. Head over to the OneTrust integration page, and click on the "Installation" tab.
This will take you step-by-step through how to configure an Auth0 rule, which will automatically send Auth0 user emails to a OneTrust Collection Point during login.

Meet MyLife Digital
MyLife Digital is another great option for implementing universal consent and preference management. With the MyLife Digital Auth0 Marketplace integration, you can easily add consent collection to your user login flow for new and existing users.
Navigate over to the MyLife Digital Auth0 Marketplace integration page, and click on the "Installation" tab.
The instructions here will walk you through how to set up an Auth0 rule that runs at login and/or signup. Once the user signs in, the rule will redirect them to the MyLife Digital Consentric widget, where they'll be presented with consent options. After they select their options, the Auth0 authentication flow will continue.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the implementation, click on the "Get Support" link on the MyLife Digital integration page.
