I use focus items here and there as popup banners. I also have forms on pages. Both I want to use without consent requirement.

For the mtc.js I only load it, when I have a user consent for personalization.

It looks like the forms JS will not create a contact as long as I don’t submit. However, the focus item generates an anonymous contact record in Mautic. Can you confirm this? Would it be possible to disable that behaviour - as mtc.js is for tracking specifically?
