Schedule cookie scanning
You should ensure that your cookie list is up-to-date so that your cookie banner has accurate information about the cookies used on your website.
We suggest that you automate your website scanning in monthly intervals. From the top navigation bar, click on More > Site Settings > Schedule Cookie Scan. You can choose Monthly, Select Day and set the Time for your scans.
If you have password-protected sections on your website, we recommend that you scan for cookies behind these sections as well. To access the Scan behind login feature (available only on the Ultimate plan) reach out to support@cookieyes.com.
CookieYes by default auto-blocks third-party cookie scripts until consent is provided by the visitor, as required by GDPR. However, we recommend you check for ‘Other’ cookies (unclassified cookies) to ensure that these cookies are appropriately handled.
You can view your updated cookie list and scan history under the Cookie Manager tab. You can then choose to implement cookie blocking manually for relevant cookies.
Generate a cookie policy
A detailed cookie policy is important so that your website provides full disclosure to your visitors. You can generate a cookie policy with a complete cookie list using CookieYes. From the top navigation bar, click on More > Cookie Policy Generator. Your cookie policy is generated instantly and you can customize the text to suit your needs. You can then simply copy-paste it to your website and publish your cookie policy page.
You can also link the cookie policy page on your cookie banner. Head to Cookie Banner > Content > Cookie Notice > “Read More” link (enable) > URL and enter the URL of your cookie policy.
