Before we can delve deeper into cookie consent management, let\u2019s first remind ourselves what it is that we are trying to manage. An HTTP cookie, in short, is a small piece of data stored on the user\u2019s computer. This data is stored there by the web browser while browsing a website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The main reason behind cookies was for the websites to remember information regarding the state of a website, for example, if you add something to your shopping cart and to record a user\u2019s browsing activity.<\/p>\n

Cookies are essential for the proper functioning of most websites. You have certainly encountered the \u201caccept all cookies\u201d button when visiting a new website. Now, when we talk about collecting people\u2019s data, there are, of course, going to be regulations managing such processes.<\/p>\n

CCPA and GDPR<\/h2>\n

The two most significant regulations are the now well-known CCPA and GDPR.<\/p>\n

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives consumers more control over the personal information that businesses collect about them. CCPA regulations also provide guidance as to how to implement the law.<\/p>\n

“On the other hand, General Data Protection Regulation is the legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information from users who live in the European Union.” – says one of the senior managers at\u00a0 LegalDrop.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need to mention that you will most probably need to abide by these rules and regulations if you are making a website. Monitoring and managing all of your cookies manually isn’t fun, and it is quite time-consuming. That is where CookieYes comes in.<\/p>\n

CookieYes<\/h2>\n

\"CookieYes<\/a><\/p>\n

CookieYes<\/a> is a cookie consent manager that is easy to use, saves you time, and, most importantly, is compliant with major data privacy laws like the GDPR and the CCPA. CookieYes was designed with the main idea of making it easier to get the user\u2019s consent and blocking third-party cookies prior to consent. This manager also provides a step-by-step guide for banner installation, making it quite easy and fast for users to switch between CMS, Content Management Systems.<\/p>\n

Using the CookieYes manager, you will ensure that your website is fully compliant with data privacy laws like aforementioned GDPR and CCPA, but also ePrivacy Directive, LGPD, Singapore PDPA, and CNIL. CookieYes is an indispensable tool for web developers, site owners, and admins alike, who need to make sure their site is compliant with laws and regulations. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the functions that CookieYes offers.<\/p>\n

Manage Cookies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whenever you can automate a process that is tedious and time-consuming, you should. After installing the consent banner, CookieYes will automatically scan your website for cookies. After it is done with the scanning, CookieYes will then proceed to auto-categorize the scanned cookies on your website, thanks to an extensive database of over 25,000 cookies. Next, it will generate a legally compliant cookie banner for you. Isn\u2019t that convenient?<\/p>\n

There is an additional benefit of smart cookie categorization. It allows your visitors to selectively give consent for different categories of cookies. It might happen that some users want to share some of their data, but not all of it. These users will most likely leave a site that doesn\u2019t give them such a selective option.<\/p>\n

One more thing. Not all of the cookies on your site will be placed by you. Some of them might be placed by major third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, YouTube<\/a>, and Facebook Pixel. CookieYes will identify all of them and automatically block them before asking users for explicit consent for them.<\/p>\n

Auto Translate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you are making a multilingual website<\/a>, you will love this feature. When you have visitors from different countries, CookieYes will make sure to display the cookie consent banner with the consideration of the visitor\u2019s location. And, as the name of this feature implies, your consent banner can even be auto-translated to 26 of the biggest languages spoken worldwide. There\u2019s no need to pull up your dictionary now.<\/p>\n

Consent Log<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CookieYes also gives you the ability to log your user\u2019s consent, which is always quite useful. You can never have too many logs.<\/p>\n
