When an end user visits your site, they set **consent preferences**, or make decisions about the types of data they want you to collect, use, and share. These consent preferences are typically presented as a set list of categories that describe how your company intends to use that data. Common categories include personalization, advertising, and site performance.

If a user changes the categories they consent to or if they consent using a different device or identifier, Segment sends the information about their consent, using a [Track call](docs/connections/spec/track), to your downstream destinations and storage destinations.
If a **consent conflict** exists (for example, one user on two different devices consented to two different categories), Segment resolves the conflict according to the [Reconcile Consent](/docs/privacy/reconcile-consent) documentation.

Once you've added the consent object to your web libraries and started collecting user data, you can use the Consent Management tab in the Segment app to [map your destinations to the consent categories](/docs/src/privacy/configure-consent-management) you set up in your third-party consent management platform.
