Your consent choices

When you first visit Clawshift, a consent banner gives you per-category control. You can:

Accept all categories
Reject all non-essential categories
Choose per-category (analytics on, marketing off, etc.)
Withdraw or change your consent at any time

Reject-all is equally prominent as accept-all. No pre-ticked boxes. Consent is logged (who, when, which banner version) as required by GDPR Art. 7.
