Consent management system with consent request process

A consent management platform disposed in a computing cloud and comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by the one or processors, cause the consent management platform to carry out operations including:
• receiving from a remotely-located content-presentation device a consent-processing request comprising an identifier string specific and unique to the content-presentation device;
• responsive to the consent processing request, using the identifier string to establish a secure interactive communication session with the content-presentation device configured for user selection of one or more consent options associated with a particular consent package of the consent management platform, the particular consent package comprising identifiers of consent features of a media distribution system that require prior end-user consent in order to be activated for the content-presentation device, wherein the particular consent package is one of one or more consent packages for which the content-presentation device has been designated as a target device by the consent management platform;
• receiving from the content-presentation device, via the secure interactive communication session, user consent data input including a respective consent choice for each of the one or more consent options, each respective consent choice indicating one of either acceptance or rejection of consent to activating for the content-presentation device an associated consent feature identified with the particular consent package;
• and
• storing the respective consent choices of the received consent data in a database of the consent management platform, wherein information corresponding to the respective consent choices stored in the database of the consent management platform is recorded in a device-based device record that is stored on the content-presentation device, and that comprises a device-based activation whitelist for recording an identifier of each consent feature associated with a respective consent choice indicating acceptance of consent.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by one or more processors of a consent management platform, cause the consent management platform to carry out operations including:

• receiving from a remotely-located content-presentation device a consent-processing request comprising an identifier string specific and unique to the content-presentation device;
• responsive to the consent processing request, using the identifier string to establish a secure interactive communication session with the content-presentation device configured for user selection of one or more consent options associated with a particular consent package of the consent management platform, the particular consent package comprising identifiers of consent features of a media distribution system that require prior end-user consent in order to be activated for the content-presentation device, wherein the particular consent package is one of one or more consent packages for which the content-presentation device has been designated as a target device by the consent management platform;
• receiving from the content-presentation device, via the secure interactive communication session, user consent data input including a respective consent choice for each of the one or more consent options, each respective consent choice indicating one of either acceptance or rejection of consent to activating for the content-presentation device an associated consent feature identified with the particular consent package;
• and storing the respective consent choices of the received consent data in a database of the consent management platform, wherein information corresponding to the respective consent choices stored in the database of the consent management platform is recorded in a device-based device record that is stored on the content-presentation device, and that comprises a device-based activation whitelist for recording an identifier of each consent feature associated with a respective consent choice indicating acceptance of consent.
