When no consent is provided you may wish to provide default consent selections for your server-side events to fallback on. If no selections are made here, server-side events will be ignored when no consent is provider. If selections are made here, we will assume that the selected options have been provided when consent has been captured.
Legal requirements will vary by regions and if you have opt-in or opt-out requirements. Elevar does not offer legal advice regarding GDPR or any consent compliance. Please consult your legal team if unsure if you should make fallback selections
