Keep useful evidence without collecting unnecessary identity data.

1

What to record

Store the pseudonymous visitor reference, time, selected purposes, applicable region and the notice/configuration version. Avoid names, emails or full IP addresses unless separately justified.

2

Define retention

Set a documented period based on accountability needs and limitation periods. Automatically delete or aggregate expired records and restrict export access by role.

3

Handle withdrawal

Append the new choice rather than rewriting history. Operational systems should receive the withdrawal immediately while the evidence log preserves the sequence of decisions.
