#### Options

**Destination**: We recommend specifying the destination, especially if multiple EdgeTag instances exist on the website. If you do not, we will trigger the same event to multiple destinations. The destination value should be the EdgeTag URL.

### Examples

{% code title="When consent exists" %}

```javascript
edgetag('getConsent', (consent, error, consentCategories) => {
  console.log(consent) // { all: false, facebook: { facebook1: true, facebook2: false }}
  console.log(error) // undefined
  console.log(consentCategories) // { all: false, marketing: true}
})
```

{% endcode %}

{% code title="No consent set yet" %}

```javascript
edgetag('getConsent', (consent, error, consentCategories) => {
  console.log(consent) // null
  console.log(error) // "Error: Consent Not Found for current user"
  console.log(consentCategories) // null
})
```

{% endcode %}
