Consent Management Platform

CookieFirst offers cookie consent management, third-party script management and cookie preference panels for websites, webshops and web applications. In a matter of minutes you can set up your account and your domain will be scanned for cookies. The cookie policy generator as part of the consent management platform then generates a cookie policy for your site. You only have to move your third-party tracking scripts to your CookieFirst portal and put our code snippet back in your site. So you can be quickly compliant with the GDPR, ePR and CCPA.

Since May 25th of 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation is in effect. During 2019 and 2020 another privacy regulation is being introduced in Europe, the ePrivacy Regulation. Both the ePrivacy Regulation and the GDPR are for the protection of personal data of EU-citizens.

These laws require all website- webshop and web application owners to give full transparency on what third-party scripts are used and which cookies are loaded when a user visits the site. Also proof of given consent must be available when a user asks for it.

Almost all websites need a cookie banner and a cookie policy. If any of the following is the case for your website, it probably needs a compliant cookie banner and cookie policy:

• Social media buttons
• Youtube videos or other third party video embeds
• Remarketing
• Goal tracking in Adwords, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others
• Advertising
• A/B Testing for marketing purposes.
• Contact forms
• Analytics

The GDPR and ePR are so-called extraterritorial laws. Just like the Californian privacy law CCPA. It means that they are applicable to all websites which have visitors from regions of which the citizens are protected. So if you have a webshop in a non-EU country but you have visitors from the EU, you still have to comply to these regulations and need a compliant cookie banner / cookie notice / cookie policy.
