Affirmative Consent

VERIFIABLE CONSENT ARCHITECTURE UNDER DPDP ACT 2023

Deploy statutory multilingual affirmative consent capture, withdrawal APIs, and interoperable Consent Manager integrations.

Pre-ticked checkboxes and bundled terms are now legally invalid under Indian law. Section 6 of the DPDP Act mandates that consent must be free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous with clear affirmative action. EDB Global engineers production-ready consent capture and ledger systems that prove compliance during audits.

Operational & Strategic Challenge

Why Your Current Cookie Banners & Forms Violate Indian Law

Most websites use generic European cookie banners that do not meet the stringent notice and language specifications mandated by India’s DPDP Act.

Prohibition of Bundled & Deceptive ConsentsConditioning access to a core service upon consent for ancillary marketing is strictly prohibited under Section 6(1).
Requirement for Multilingual NoticeConsent notices must be accessible in English and any of the 22 scheduled Indian languages at the option of the Data Principal.
Right to Withdraw Consent as Easily as GivenThe law mandates that withdrawal must be as frictionless as initial onboarding, requiring dedicated automated deletion APIs.
