Platforms Supported
Implementation Approaches
| Approach | Description |
|---|---|
| SDK + OneTrust UI (Recommended) | Description Embed the OneTrust SDK into your app and use the SDK's methods to manage pre-built user interfaces and user consent. Pros - Lowest effort to implement - Simple to scale for many apps - Easier to change over timeCons - n/a |
| SDK + BYOUI | Description Embed the OneTrust SDK into your app and use the SDK's methods to build your own user interfaces and manage user consent. Pros - SDK logic and methods kept same - Can scale to many apps depending how UI is deliveredCons - Larger initial implementation because UI logic and layouts built from scratch - Not as easy to change over time |
