Get SupportCookie consent is the act of consenting to, rejecting, or specifying the use of cookies on a website. As a website owner, some laws — like the GDPR — require you to obtain a user’s consent before using cookies and allow them to choose which ones they want to allow. Other laws — like the CCPA — only require you to give users an easy way to opt out of cookie usage.
We handle this process for you and keep consent logs in case you’re ever audited.
A cookie consent notice — or banner — is how website owners can easily collect cookie consent from users and allow them to manage which cookies they accept. It is typically positioned at the bottom of a page when users first visit a website and displays three buttons:
Our tool will automatically generate this banner for you and allow you to customize it to match your website.
You will need to gain cookie consent from users if:

Cookie consent is the act of consenting to, rejecting, or specifying the use of cookies on a website. Some laws, like the GDPR, require that websites give users options for which cookies are used, if any, as they access a site.
To comply with the GDPR’s cookie consent requirements, your website or app needs a cookie consent function that users see before cookies can be served. The consent function can appear as a banner, popup, or form that users will see and can interact with when they enter your site. You’ll also need to implement a cookie blocking method to ensure that cookies are blocked before you receive explicit user consent to serve cookies.
A cookie consent banner, is a notice on your site that informs visitors of your use of cookies.
Some consent banners ask users to consent to the use of cookies on the site or allow them to set their cookie preferences for which types of cookies can be used. These banners help satisfy GDPR and ePrivacy Directive consent requirements.
Other cookie banners don’t include consent or preference buttons. Instead, they inform users that cookies are being used but don’t provide any consent or preference settings.
You make a cookie consent banner using one of the following methods:
Remember, you still need to implement cookie blocking to comply with laws like the GDPR, CCPA, and the ePrivacy Directive that require explicit consent before serving cookies. Adding in a consent banner plugin or tool to your website may not be enough for full compliance.
First-party cookies are cookies that are set by your own website. For example, they may track visitors’ login status or shopping cart items. Third-party cookies are set by service partners that you include on your website. They may be used in ad tracking, by analytics services like Google Analytics, or in tools like embedded YouTube videos.
The different types of internet cookies include:
Yes, cookies used to identify individuals are considered personal data (e.g., a cookie ID). Many regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), control how businesses use cookies and other personal information. Cookies that are not considered personal data are still subject to requirements set out in the ePrivacy Directive that governs the use of cookies more generally.
Some laws, like the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, require explicit consent from users before a website can serve certain cookies.
Using a cookie consent banner that asks users for consent and gives users the option to set their cookie preferences can satisfy this requirement.
Other laws may not require cookie consent, but instead require a disclaimer about the cookies you use.
Cookie blocking is when a cookie script is blocked from running on a given user’s browser. Cookie blocking can happen at the browser level or at the website level. Cookie blocking should be done automatically until users consent to non-essential cookies. Some browsers allow cookie blocking to be set from the user’s end.
When implementing a cookie consent solution, you’ll need to use a cookie blocking method to ensure all non-essential cookies are blocked before users give consent. Our cookie consent manager gives you the option to use our Auto Blocker. Auto Blocker is a Termly feature that automatically detects, categorizes, and blocks third-party tracking mechanisms from being delivered to your website visitors until they have given their consent. Our cookie consent manager also allows you to manually block cookies or block cookies using Google Tag Manager if you don’t want to use auto-blocking technology.
