### Device-level conflicts
62-
A device-level conflict occurs when conflicting consent preferences linked to one user ID are collected from two distinct devices. Segment resolves device-level conflicts by using the latest consent preferences. An end user's profiles with device level conflicts will always result in the consent status of true or false for the conflicting consent categories.

This results in a conflict between the consent preferences they originally provided on their mobile phone and the consent preferences they provided on their desktop computer.
