Discover what is lawful and what is “NOT” GDPR compliant putting you at risk of fines
Cookie Banner - Example 1
✕ Not Compliant
This banner is NOT Compliant. Because it does NOT give a user the “free choice” to Reject unnecessary cookies, which is a legal requirement under GDPR
Cookie Banner - Example 2
✕ Not Compliant
Here the user has NO choice, they are “forced“ to Accept cookies . Rejecting MAY be possible, but it is hidden away under settings. This is neither Easy nor Transparent. This is unlawful and non Compliant with GDPR
Cookie Banner - Example 3
✕ Not Compliant
Again, here the user has NO choice, they are forced to Accept cookies or just close the banner. This is unlawful
Finally, here are some additional things that may not be obvious in the
graphical examples, but are required for GDPR Cookie compliance.
You are required to have a GDPR compliant cookie policy
You are required to have all Cookies & their purposes listed, in the Cookie policy.
The Cookie policy should be easily accessible and be linked to from the Cookie consent banner for ease and transparency.
Prior Consent must be obtained before any Cookies are installed.
Under the law, there are several things to consider to ensure that you are
Cookie compliant:
Get the Cookie Consent Banner - built with GDPR in mind
Cookie Banner - Example 4
✓ Compliant
Yes! Here the user has the choice to either Accept OR Reject. Even better, they also have the ability to choose which Cookies under their preference settings. However choosing the individual preferences above is not as “transparent” as they could be under GDPR.
Cookie Banner - Example 5
✓ Compliant
Bingo! In this example the user can opt in to Accept or leave blank to Reject. They also have the ability to choose their preferences upfront. This is as fully “transparent” & easy as it could be under Laws of GDPR.
