# Microsoft Clarity Consent

**Microsoft Clarity uses cookies** to collect user session data, such as how a user accessed your site, their location, and language preferences. As a website owner, you may be subject to laws requiring you to obtain user consent before placing cookies on their browser or collecting personal information.

By default, the **Clarity tracking code** is placed in your site's HTML header and loads immediately, even before the user has provided consent for cookies. To prevent this, you can [configure Clarity](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/cookie-consent) to **only install cookies after obtaining user consent**.

This requires **disabling cookies in Clarity settings** and modifying your site's JavaScript to notify Clarity when consent is granted.

To disable cookies, go to **Clarity > Settings > Setup**, then turn off cookies

That's all! The **Consent API is supported by default** when you add Microsoft Clarity as a partner.
