Cookiebot

Cookiebot is a leading solution for managing cookie consent and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive in Europe, as well as state-level laws like the CCPA in the United States and PIPEDA in Canada. The platform automates the detection, categorisation, and control of cookies and trackers, allowing users to provide informed consent before any non-essential cookies are activated. Cookiebot’s banners are fully customisable and support multiple languages, making it suitable for global organisations.

In the European Union, websites must comply with the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, which require explicit user consent for non-essential cookies and transparent information about their use. In the United States, while there is no federal cookie law, states such as California (CCPA/CPRA) and Virginia (CDPA) require transparency and, in some cases, opt-out mechanisms for cookies used in targeted advertising3. In Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) requires businesses to obtain meaningful consent for the collection and use of personal information, including cookies, and Quebec’s Law 25 imposes even stricter requirements, such as privacy by default and explicit consent for tracking. 

Cookiebot also offers native integration with Google Consent Mode V2, which is essential for websites using Google services such as Analytics and Ads, particularly for users in the European Economic Area. Consent Mode V2 allows Google tags to adjust their behaviour based on the user’s consent status, ensuring that data is only collected when valid consent is given. This integration is crucial for maintaining compliance with European privacy laws and for the continued effectiveness of digital marketing activities.
