Method to subscribe to Commanders Act consent updates OnSite via JavaScript.The Commanders Act OnSite API stub has to be installed before using any of the OnSite API functions.

The consent.onUpdate method allow to subscribe a callback function for consent updates. The callback function will be called with the updated Consent Object. It is called whenever the consent is changed via a Commanders Act banner interaction or the consent.update method of the OnSite API.

The consentObject argument will also be enriched with an additional property updateEvent to signal how the update happened. It can have following values:

Value	Description
set	The consent was set.
changed	Consent was already established and then changed.
revoked	Consent was revoked by the user. Used for cleanup tasks like deleting cookie identifiers.

When consent is revoked it fires two events: One changed followed by one revoked.
