GDPR cookie consent refers to the requirement under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that websites must obtain user consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies. A Clear Cookie Policy must inform users about the categories of cookies used, ensuring compliance. Users should also have the ability to withdraw consent at any time.

GDPR Cookie Consent Requirements

To ensure GDPR compliance, websites must:

• Provide a clear Cookie Policy informing users about the categories of cookies, including third-party cookies.
• Obtain explicit consent before setting non-essential cookies (e.g., marketing or analytics cookies).
• Use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to track and store proof of consent.
• Enable users to modify their settings easily.

A GDPR compliant cookie banner is essential to meet these requirements. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global revenue.
