# Microsoft Clarity Consent Mode

> Allow or block Microsoft Clarity session recordings and heatmaps based on consent.

Microsoft Clarity is a free product-analytics tool that captures session recordings and heatmaps. With Consent Mode enabled, Clarity only collects data once the visitor has consented to analytics tracking.

When the integration is enabled, CookieChimp calls Clarity's consent API (`clarity('consent')`) automatically as the user's preferences change.

## Prerequisites

* A Microsoft Clarity project with its tracking snippet installed on your site.
* A category or service in CookieChimp that represents analytics consent (most accounts map this to the **analytics** category or a **Microsoft Clarity** vendor).

## How do I enable it?

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Integrations page">
    Go to **Integrations** in your CookieChimp dashboard and find the Microsoft Clarity Consent Mode card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle it on">
    CookieChimp will push consent state to Clarity on page load and whenever the visitor updates their choices.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How do I verify it's working?

1. Open your site in a private window and **decline** analytics consent. No session recordings should appear in your Clarity dashboard.
2. Reload, **accept** analytics, and browse your site. After a few minutes a new session should show up in Clarity.
