# Collect consents without storing IP addresses or user-agents

By default, Openli stores the IP address and browser user-agent with consents to aid provability. Openli lets you collect consent without storing these, which some jurisdictions might require.

### Exclude IP addresses and user-agents from the audit trail

Here's how to do it:

1. Log in to [your dashboard](https://app.openli.com/)
2. Click *Settings* in the left sidebar
3. In the Projects section, click *Edit* for the project you need to change
4. Tick the box just below the project name to *Exclude IP addresses and browser user-agent from audit trail* (see screenshot below)
5. Click *Save project*

Once these simple steps are done, your audit trail will no longer collect IP addresses and browser user-agents in future consents for this project.
