That is why adding a cookie info script to your website is very important. Here are 5 primary requirements for GDPR compliant cookie banner;
Accept Cookies Button
Adding an opt-in with cookie consent for your visitors is the easiest and most convenient way to stay GDPR compliant. By adding this, the website only drops essential cookies to run the website. The text and the button should be clear that by clicking ‘Accept’, the visitor agrees to the deployment of cookies.
Provide more details
The website is required to provide further details about their cookies. It should be clear for your visitors what’s the purpose of the cookies you deploy. Whether it’s for analytics, marketing, advertising, or social media, you have to provide more details.
Disclose third-parties
If the website shares the data collected with third parties, the cookie banner should clearly indicate that. Some websites link the list of third parties they share the data with on the cookie banner.
Access to the cookie policy
Your cookie info banner should have a link or button that will link to your website’s cookie policy or cookie notice. In your cookie policy, you will provide more details about what cookies you use, what are they use for and the third-party lists included.
Access to cookie settings
Giving visitors access to cookie settings will give them more freedom as to which cookie they only want to accept instead of rejecting everything at once. This is not required but would be a great addition for you and the visitors.
If you run a website and have not configured adding cookie info? It’s time to add them today. It’s better to stay on track with laws and regulations now than be sorry later.
