What is cookie consent?
Cookie consent refers to the process of informing users about the use of cookies on a website and obtaining their permission before cookies are placed on their devices.
Why do websites ask for cookie consent, and why has this become so common?
Websites ask for cookie consent to comply with privacy laws and regulations. These laws require websites to inform users about the data they collect through cookies and provide an option to consent or decline. Cookie consent banners have become increasingly common due to:
- Privacy Laws: Regulations like GDPR require user consent for tracking
- User Awareness: People demand transparency about data usage
- Website Functionality: Cookies are essential for many site features
- Compliance and Trust: Transparency builds user trust
How does CaterTrax handle user consent?
- EU GDPR: We require informed consent before using non-essential cookies obtained through clear actions like clicking "Accept" in the cookie consent banner
- North America: Similar measures are being prepared as trends move towards stricter regulations
