WordPress GDPR Cookie Consent FAQs

Cookies are bits of data that are passed from the website and stored on a visitor’s browser. The purpose of cookies is to remember and identify visitors when then return to a website. This is how websites and third-party tools like Google Analytics are able to track a visitors activity on a website. Such third-party tracking cookies compile data about a visitor’s actions on multiple websites and compile their browsing history. Which in turn, causes a privacy issue.

When a user first visits your site, you need to display a cookie banner. You also need to block non-necessary cookies (e.g. via Google Analytics, Facebook Ads/Like widgets, Adsense etc.) before user gives consent. The cookies should only be loaded after informed consent has been provided by the user (prior consent). The website also needs to provide a compliant cookie policy.

 

If a website gets visitors from EU countries, it needs to comply with the GDPR Cookie consent Law. And even if you don’t get website visitors from EU countries, the state of California has introduced a regulation called CalOPPA (California Online Privacy Protection Act) that has much of the same requirements as the GDPR and EU Cookie Law.

According to CalOPPA, a commercial website is any website that helps you make money in some way. For example, if you offer services on your website, it’s still considered a commercial website. Also if you use third-party tracking services such as Google Analytics, you need to comply with privacy regulations. We recommend using gdpr cookie consent plugin for complying with laws and regulations.

The WP GDPR Cookie Consent plugin has a one-click scanner, that’ll scan your website for all the cookies. After the scan, it will show you the list of cookies used across your website. It will also automatically classify the non-exempt cookies into Marketing, Analytics and other categories. You can review and change the category if you need  in this WordPress cookie consent plugin.

Some cookies are not necessary to be blocked, for e.g. Technical Cookies – These are session cookies, preference cookies which are necessary for the website to function. Cookies which are used for statistics or analytics which don’t profile a user or anonymized data is stored are also not needed to be blocked. The  WordPress cookie consent plugin provides you with an interface in the admin to choose which scripts you want to block before accepting user consent

This GDPR Cookie Consent plugin generates a cookie table which can be inserted in your existing Privacy Policy.
