Microsoft Clarity is one of the most loved free behavioural tools available to marketers today. But by default, it tracks every visitor, even ones who declined cookies.

Let me explain what that means and why SeersAI's new Google Gold certification is a big deal. Understanding Consent Management Platforms A CMP is software that manages how websites ask for permission to use cookies and collect data. When someone visits your site, the CMP shows them options.
