Prior consent for visitors in Colombia
Velo reads the visitor's country at the edge. Visitors in Colombia start opt in, with every Consent Mode v2 signal denied until they choose.
Colombia's Ley 1581,
prior consent handled.
Colombia's data protection law asks for prior, express and informed authorisation before personal data is processed. Velo starts every consent signal denied until visitors make that choice.
