# Blocking Page Reloads

By default, DataGrail Consent reloads the page when a visitor updates their consent preferences. This ensures that scripts blocked or allowed by the new preferences take effect immediately. However, a full page reload is not always desirable — particularly for single-page applications (SPAs) or implementations using progressive consent, where you dynamically load or remove content based on consent state.

# Progressive Consent

Some embedded content, like YouTube videos or social media widgets, loads third-party trackers as soon as the page renders. Progressive consent lets you block that content behind a placeholder and only load it after the visitor explicitly grants consent. This approach is especially useful for meeting opt-in requirements under regulations like GDPR.
