Where to find it
Go to Echo > Consent Audit. The page covers one property and the last 30 days (UTC). It reports what Echo's gate decided, server-side, before any platform was called. Consent is evaluated against the state each event carried when it was received, not the visitor's current state.
Only destinations that forward to a third party are listed. Lens and Lapse destinations are first-party and never consent-gated, so they are left out.
Headline figures
| Figure | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Delivered without required consent | Events forwarded by an enabled destination that has no consent requirement configured. Zero when every enabled advertising destination has a requirement in force. Above zero, the affected rows are highlighted |
| Suppressed by a privacy control | Events a destination would have received but did not. It is the total of the four withheld columns in the table below: consent denied, no consent signal, GPC decided and bot excluded |
| Captured, never forwarded | Events processed but forwarded to no advertising destination. Most events match no advertising destination at all; they are held as first-party data only |
| Global Privacy Control asserted | Events that arrived with a GPC signal, out of all events processed in the same window |

Consent Gate by Destination
One row per advertising destination.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Destination | Name and type |
| Gate | Disabled, No requirement, or the required consent categories joined with +. Honors GPC is added when the destination suppresses GPC |
| Forwarded | Events sent to the platform |
| Consent denied | Withheld because the required consent was not granted |
| No consent signal | Withheld because the event carried no consent state |
| GPC decided | Withheld because GPC was the deciding rule |
| Bot excluded | Withheld as automated traffic |
Each withheld event is counted under the first rule that stopped it, in a fixed order: required consent, then GPC, then automated traffic. Where a consent requirement is configured, GPC decided normally reads zero: a visitor sending GPC has almost always declined consent too, so the consent rule stops the event first. The column counts decisions, not signals. The headline GPC figure counts the signal itself.
A highlighted row is an enabled destination with no requirement configured that forwarded events. That destination forwards everything while looking healthy, which is the configuration this page is built to surface. To add a requirement, edit the destination; see Consent and Bot Gating.
Suppression Log
One row per day and destination where something was withheld, newest first, 25 rows per page. Days with nothing withheld are omitted. Columns: Day (UTC), Destination, Withheld, the four reason columns above, and Forwarded same day.
Empty and partial states
| You see | It means |
|---|---|
| "No gate decisions recorded in the last 30 days." | No event reached a gate in the period. This is not the same as zero violations, so no figures are shown. A gate only evaluates events matching the destination's event filter, and only destinations with a consent requirement, GPC handling or bot filtering have a gate |
| Partial window | Gate recording began after the start of the 30 days. Every figure covers the shorter period, and rates will not match a longer history until the window fills |
| "Nothing was suppressed in this window." | Gates are configured and traffic flowed, and every event reaching a gate carried the consent it needed |
| "Could not read the audit figures." | The figures could not be loaded. No numbers are shown rather than zeros |
Figures come from hourly totals and can lag a few minutes.
