Even if they're named after a treat, internet users aren't always fans of cookies! These small files reveal a lot about their browsing and preferences. They can also be used to identify them even without their consent… But that was before the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)!
The “cookie law,” meaning the European directive on privacy and electronic communications, requires the prior and informed consent of users on your site. The GDPR, for its part, requires that you archive every consent. In addition, users must be able to withdraw their approval at any time.
To comply with this legislation, you'll need to install a banner that records your visitors' consent. How? With one of these 6 tools!
