What is a cookie notice?
A cookie notice, or a cookie banner, is typically a small pop-up that appears when someone visits your website for the first time. It should always include a cookie consent button, but it's also a good idea to provide advanced options, allowing users to choose the type of tracking they're comfortable with, like data collection for analytics.
What is a cookie policy?
A cookie policy is either a separate document or a part of the privacy policy that clearly explains how you collect, process, store, and transfer user data via cookies. It's often included within the privacy policy instead of being a standalone document.
Will a simple cookie notice ensure compliance?
Unfortunately, no. According to most regulations, it's not enough to just ask users for permission to handle their data. You must also pause any tracking until they provide consent. We highly recommend using Easycookie in conjunction with Google Tag Manager for this purpose.
What is Google Consent Mode v2?
In March 2024, Google launched an upgraded system, named Consent Mode v2, to manage user consents for cookie data use in the European Economic Area. It fine-tunes the behaviour of tags from Google Analytics, Google Ads, or Google Tag Manager based on permissions granted by users.
Can Easycookie assist in maintaining compliance with GCM v2?
Definitely. Our generator and cookie notices are crafted to gather all required consents. You can also transfer consent data directly to Google Tag Manager through native integration.
Will Easycookie ensure my full compliance with GDPR?
Unfortunately no. GDPR compliance consists of many elements, including how user data is stored and processed. Easycookie handles an important part: displaying relevant notifications and registering consent to the use of cookies.
Why having a cookie notice is so important?
Each site is required by law to have a mechanism such as Easycookie. Otherwise you risk penalties. Easycookie helps you notify visitors and collect consents regarding cookies.
