• Cookie law requires users’ informed consent before storing cookies on a user’s device and/or tracking them.
  • Consent to cookies must be informed and based on an explicit affirmative action; subject to the local authority, these actions may include continued browsing, clicking, scrolling the page or some method that requires the user to actively proceed.
  • The Cookie Law does not require that records of consent be kept but instead indicates that you should be able to prove that consent occurred — even if that consent has been withdrawn.
  • The cookie law does not require that you provide users with the means to toggle cookie preferences directly on your site/app, only that you conspicuously provide the option for obtaining informed consent, provide a means for the withdrawal of consent and guarantee via prior blocking that no tracking is performed before consent is obtained.
  • The cookie law does not require that you individually list third-party cookies, only that you state their category and purpose.
  • While the Cookie Law does not require that you manage consent for third-party cookies directly on your site/app, you are required to inform users of third-party cookie usage, the purpose of the cookies and link to the relevant third-party privacy/cookie policies.
