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.

After a user sets their consent preferences, Segment updates the [consent object](#consent-object) with a user's preferences. The events are then sent downstream to any destinations in categories that a user consents to sharing data with.
