For businesses that have your own cookie management system, you can include SalesIQ's cookies in your own consent banner using the SalesIQ cookies API. This means that you can consolidate all your cookie requisites including SalesIQ, and give visitors the freedom to decide which cookies they allow on your website.
The flow for the API implementation is as follows.
  1. .privacy.getCookieList() API - to get the list of cookies used by Zoho SalesIQ before loading the cookie consent. 
  2. .privacy.updateCookieConsent() API - to set the cookie consent preferences for the Zoho SalesIQ cookies, and then sharing the consent provided for the same.
