๐Ÿ‘‰ What is Cookie Consent?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

๐Ÿ‘‰ What does Cookie Consent mean?

Cookie Consent allows you to elegantly inform users that your site uses cookies and helps you comply with the EU GDPR cookie law and CCPA regulations.

Tips & Tricks ๐Ÿ“

Types of Cookie placement:

1. Fixed Footer Notification

Adding your cookie notice to your website footer is a smart move. Since most websites include important legal links in the footer, people know to look here for important things. When a notice is placed in the footer region, your users will be very likely to notice it and take it seriously. You can add a "More about GDPR" link that takes users to a page that discusses more about how the company strives for GDPR compliance. Because the GDPR focuses on transparency and user rights, a cookie notice like this that gets consent from users before placing cookies is a requirement of the GDPR when most cookies are used.

2. Top Header Notification

A top header notification will be displayed front and center at the top of your website. This means it'll be nearly impossible for a site visitor to miss. Websites notoriously put important messages at the very top including sale notifications and other things users know to watch for, so this is a smart area to place your cookie notice.

3. Inline Top Header Notification

Another option to use is a more inline notification: below the logo, but above the website content. You can also place your notification bar between the top section of the website and the start of your website content, which makes it pretty much impossible to miss. Note that this notice is for an update to a Cookies Policy. If you update your Policy after getting your users to accept/agree to it, you'll need to take this approach and re-display your notice and re-obtain consent/agreement.

4. Box Notification

You can place a small box in the bottom right of the website that is in a fixed position, regardless of how you scroll. This method works well on mobile devices since the box can display largely on the screen.
