How does cookie compliance work?

Cookie compliance is a legal requirement in many countries, designed to protect internet users from having their personal data collected without their knowledge or consent.

In order to be compliant, websites must provide clear and concise information about their use of cookies, and allow users to opt-out of having their data collected.

There are a number of ways to achieve cookie compliance, but the most common is to use a cookie consent banner. This is a piece of code that displays a message on your website informing users that cookies are being used, and provides a link to your privacy policy.

The banner must be displayed on every page of your website, and must be visible to users before they can continue to browse.

If you are using Google Analytics, you will also need to add a snippet of code to your website to allow users to opt-out of being tracked.

Cookie compliance is a complex issue, and you should seek legal advice if you are unsure about your obligations. However, by taking these steps you can be sure that you are protecting your users' privacy, and complying with the law.
