WPAdCenter by default doesn't show any consent notice in the front-end. Therefore, if you want to enable consenting, you need to integrate cookie consent plugins. Below you will find the table for the popular cookie consent plugins which contains cookie name and their value, so you can use them for the cookie method

Above are certain plugins which are integrated well with WPAdCenter for consenting, but if you have other plugins, and you know what cookie value and name they set on accepting consent? You could enter those exact cookie value and name in settings and the consenting would work fine, or you could raise a support forum in wordpress.org for the same, we would be happy to integrate it for you!
