Under privacy laws such as the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive (also called the Cookie Law) users must give prior and explicit consent before activation of cookies on a website or application. Consent must be informed and explicit, for example a pre-ticked box may not be-presented.

Under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive in Europe, as well as a growing number of countries around the world which have put in place privacy laws based on the GDPR, it is required to provide a method for visitors to give consent before placing cookies, web beacons or other tracking mechanisms. Virtually all websites use some sort of cookies to operate, including necessary as well as preference, statistics, and marketing cookies such as ad-tracking cookies. Visitors must be informed of all types of cookies.

Yes. The Cookie Law requires companies in the EU or doing business in the EU to put a cookie notice or warning on their website that is transparent as to what cookies will be placed.

The US does not have their own uniform cookie laws, though if your company does business in the EU or other countries where cookie consent is required, you must provide that. In some states, such as in California, the CPRA requires the ability to opt-out of the sale of data that is collected by cookies. Under CCPA and the newer CPRA, companies must place a Do Not Sell button.

Recital 30 in the GDPR defines cookies in their ability to identify users, qualify as personal data, and thus are subject to the GDPR. Under the GDPR, companies have a right to process their user’s data as long as they have consent or have legitimate interest. However, the ePrivacy Directive, in place since 2002, compliments and surpasses the GDPR and thus must be complied with as well.

A cookie consent banner with a cookie warning pops up on a website before any cookies are loaded. The visitor is given clear information on what cookies are used, and given the opportunity to explicitly accept specific types of cookies or all cookies. Most recently, rulings by France’s CNIL has required that a “Reject All” option must be presented on the cookie consent banner as well. Once the visitor has given their consent, this must be remembered by the site, and the visitor given the option to modify or revoke their consent at a later date.

Under a privacy directive passed by the European Union in 2002, it is deemed that cookies collect personal information and thus a visitor must provide their consent for this collection. The cookie warning is meant to notify the visitor about the presence of cookies and allow them to provide their consent for collection prior to them being loaded.

A cookie consent banner pops up on a website and presents the cooking warning along with the options, usually a set of buttons, that allow the visitor to provide their explicit and informed consent for cookies.
