Core functionality

• Cookie consent banner and widget with automated cookie scan and declaration.
• Once a month Cookiebot CMP will perform an automated cookie audit by scanning your website for cookies (HTTP/Javascript cookies, HTML5 Local Storage, Flash Local Shared Object, Silverlight Isolated Storage, IndexedDB, ultrasound beacons, pixel tags) and generate a cookie declaration with descriptions on every cookie found on your website.
• The cookie report can be published in full on any of your subpages, e.g. as part of your privacy policy, by simply including a javascript-code in the specific page. The declaration also shows the user’s current consent state and offers the user the statutory option of changing or withdrawing a consent.
• Monitor your cookies by registering one or more subscribers to receive a monthly scan report by e-mail with information on e.g. new and removed cookies.
• Cookiebot CMP displays a user friendly, no-nonsense interface the first time a user visits your website – no matter what page the user first lands on. The highly customizable consent interface informs your website’s visitors about the use of cookies and asks for consent to set cookies on their web browser, all with minimum impact on the overall user experience.
• Cookiebot CMP also comes with a widget for your website that makes the end-user consent interaction more responsive. The widget is a small, weightless element that hovers on a customizable position on your website and enables visitors to change or withdraw their consent state faster and easier, bringing flexibility and simplicity to an area that users often find tiresome and complicated.
• Cookiebot CMP remembers the user’s choice for 12 months after which the banner will automatically pop up to renew the user’s consent. If you operate websites in multiple countries, you can set up a configuration for each country.
• All user consents are automatically logged in an anonymized form and using an encrypted key. No Data Processing Agreement (GDPR) is needed. The consent log can be downloaded from the Manager and used for documentation.
• With Cookiebot CMP you are in full control of which cookies are set on your website. Instead of leaving it up to your website visitors to opt-in or opt-out at up to several hundred third party cookie providers, Cookiebot CMP offers your visitors a simple, general choice on four types of cookies across all cookie providers.
• Cookiebot CMP offers full support of the required prior consent so that only strictly necessary cookies are set before the user consents. Cookiebot CMP can automatically block all first-party and third-party cookies and trackers on your website. Alternatively, you can manually mark up scripts to be held back until the user has consented.
• Cookiebot CMP maintains a global cookie repository with descriptions of the purpose of commonly used third party cookies.
• When Cookiebot CMP identifies a known cookie on your website it uses the information from the knowledge base to describe the purpose of the cookie to your website visitors.
• From the global repository Cookiebot CMP creates a local repository after the first scan of your website.
• In the local repository you can change any applied description and set purpose descriptions on all cookies identified by the scanner.
• On subsequent scans Cookiebot CMP reuses information from the local repository to describe both first and third party cookies.
