FAQ

Can I run GoConsent and Termly together?

We don’t recommend it. Two consent tools mean two banners and two sets of blocking rules. Deactivate Termly once GoConsent is installed.

Will my Termly consent records move to GoConsent?

No. GoConsent keeps its own records on your server from the day you install it. If you need Termly’s records as proof, keep a copy before you remove it.
