Rethink the banner

From friction to engagement

Traditional consent mechanisms interrupt the experience and produce blind acceptance or avoidance, and regulators have made clear they evaluate how data is actually collected and enforced, not whether a banner displayed. Progressive Consent turns each permission moment into a value exchange the customer actually engages with.

Intuitive privacy experiences

Permission requests appear at the point in the flow where the value exchange is clear: a report someone is reading, a product page they keep returning to, a channel they just engaged.

Well-timed, predictive prompts

Instead of firing on page load, prompts wait for the right moment, based on what a person is doing now and how they've engaged before.

Compliance without sacrificing experience

Each prompt adapts to the applicable law, the person's identity, and their prior consent state, so the right disclosure appears without repeating requests.

Thank you for making software that lawyers can use. I can make adjustments quickly and confidently within Ketch without needing to speak code.

How a moment becomes a permission

The Progressive Consent loop

Every permission granted improves the data, the data improves the personalization, and better personalization creates more moments where people are willing to share.

01. Detect

Spot the right moment based on intent, behavior, and engagement signals.

02. Ask

Present an in-context permission prompt designed for the value being exchanged.

03. Capture

Store the choice in Permission Vault with full purpose, jurisdiction, and channel context.

04. Activate

Use the permissioned signal in personalization, marketing, and AI activation immediately.

The precondition

Identity synchronization

A person shows up online under many identifiers: cookies, mobile device IDs, CTV IDs, account logins, and hashed emails. Progressive Consent works because Ketch identity management links those identifiers into one deterministic record, applies a clear, configurable rule when signals conflict, and treats a single authentication event as enough to establish a durable cross-device link.

Deterministic identity linking

First-party and third-party identifiers resolve into one record through a match, rather than a probabilistic guess.

Configurable conflict rules

When two devices disagree, a clear, configurable rule decides which signal wins.

No repeat prompts

A durable cross-device link means people stop seeing the same question on every device and every session.

Beyond the banner

Why Progressive Consent outperforms blanket banners

Six reasons growth and privacy teams favor in-journey permissioning.

Higher opt-in rates

Permission prompts at moments of value convert better than first-visit interstitials.

Better zero-party data

When people opt in for a reason, the data they share is richer and more durable.

Predictive timing

Use engagement and behavior signals to ask only when the answer is likely to be yes.

A/B testing

Test prompt copy, placement, and timing the way marketing teams already test conversion.

Identity-aware reach

Permission state follows the person across devices and sessions through Identity Sync.

On-demand auditability

Every prompt and choice produces a timestamped, individual-level record you can hand to an auditor or regulator.
