Analysis of your website, recommendations for action, setup & configuration

Who needs a consent management platform for their website?

Are marketing, third-party or tracking cookies collected, processed and analyzed on your website?

YES? No problem! The Cookiebox team has the solution.

When opening your website for the first time, you should obtain the user’s consent regarding the use of cookies. Please note that the scope, use and transfer of data must be listed in as much detail as possible. If the scenario listed at the beginning occurs, there is a so-called cookie banner obligation.

Exception: According to experts and lawyers, there is no mandatory consent for technically necessary cookies. Due to the fact that no data is collected and no consent is required, no cookie banner is legally necessary.

What is a CMP?

With the help of a Consent Management Platform (CMP), the consent of your website visitors can be collected, processed and forwarded in a GDPR-compliant manner. By means of this, you can link your marketing and data strategy together with the legal requirements and at the same time be compliant with the currently applicable legal requirements (GDPR, CCPA, TTDSG).

The cookie banner deployment tool: Through such software, the seamless integration of a cookie banner into the website can be included and the user consents (opt-ins) can be managed.

What components does the Cookie Consent Banner need?

The elementary components include the message text, buttons and links.

At the beginning, a short text should inform about the function of the banner, what happens when the different buttons are clicked.

At least the following buttons should be present:

Accept – herewith one agrees with all website cookies and scripts.

Decline – after clicking the Decline button, only necessary cookies are set.

Preferences – behind this button there is more detailed information as well as the possibility of granular consent.

Within the banner, it is essential to include a link to the privacy policy as well as the website’s imprint. Both of these pages and their content must be accessible without being blocked by the consent banner and without cookies being played.

The requirements of a cookie banner tool

Especially with such a sensitive topic as data protection, the expertise and flexibility of the Consent Management Platforms (CMP) should be relied upon.

The following requirements for such a CMP can be derived from the guidance as well as the ECJ court ruling:

Clear presentation of all data processing activities and their recipients
Classification into the established data protection cookie categories (essential, functional, analysis, marketing)
Option to select/deselect individual categories
No pre-selection of checkboxes
The tool can be used to block all cookies from being played until the user has given his or her active consent.

Other questions arising in this context are:

Storage of the user client: Is it only stored locally at the user or also in a database?
How can a user revoke the consent given or check and change the status of his consent at any time?
Scope of information: Is the purpose and the cookie lifetime described?

Choosing the Consent Tool: Which one is right for you?

Before making the final choice on a Consent Management Platform (CMP), it is urgent to discuss all suitable solutions in detail and to make the final decision according to your existing requirements.

In addition to our premium partnership with USERCENTRICS, we also offer two other vendors, which are among the TOP-5 tools, as a proposed solution for a Consent Tool.
