How to Display a Cookie Audit Table on Your Website

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires you to make your European audience aware of what cookies are being used by your website, what their purposes are, how they are being used, and what information they collect from the users.

You can use a cookie audit table to notify your website visitors about the types of cookies you use, their purposes, and other specifications.

CookieYes enables you to add cookie audit tables inside your cookie consent banner as well as display them on any page on your website. You can also customize the cookie audit tables set by CookieYes easily.

If you don’t have an account with CookieYes, sign up for free and get started.

Our setup guide will help you get started with CookieYes.

CookieYes allows you to display category-wise cookie audit tables on your website so that your site visitors can see them on their browsers. To do this:

Insert the code <div class="cky-audit-table-element"></div> anywhere on your website.

See what your web page will look like, after adding this code.

CookieYes lets you customize the column labels of your cookie audit table. This is how you can do it:

Step 1: Sign in to your CookieYes account. If you don’t have an account, sign up here for free.

Step 2: On the CookieYes Dashboard, navigate to Cookie Banner > Content > Cookie List

Step 3: Change the label names according to your preference > Click Save & Publish to save all your settings.

• If you want to add further customization to your cookie audit table, you can include it inside the CSS tab under the CSS menu.

Now, reload your website to see the changes you have made.

CookieYes also allows you to add cookies to your cookie audit table manually.

Below are the steps to add a cookie to the audit table:

Step 1: From your CookieYes dashboard, go to Cookie Manager in the left panel > Cookies > Select the cookie category in which you want to add a cookie audit table.

Step 2: Click on the + Add New Cookie button.

Step 3: Enter the Cookie ID, Domain, Duration, and Description in the respective text boxes > Click Submit.

• Cookie ID: Enter the name of the cookie. You can add a user-friendly name, as this field is for audit purposes.
• Domain: Add the domain from which the cookie is being installed on the users’ browser.
• Duration: Specify the time duration the cookies will persist on the users’ browser.
• Description: Enter the description of the cookie to help users clearly understand the purpose of a cookie, the type of data it collects, etc.
• Script URL Pattern: If the cookie you are adding is set by a third party, then you can add its URL pattern here to enable auto-blocking before consent.

In the same way, you could add more cookies to the cookie list.

Ensure that you have added the CookieYes script to your website, as described in our setup guide. Then, the cookie banner consisting of your cookie audit table will be published on your website.

Here’s how CookieYes displays the cookie audit table in the cookie consent banner. Click Customize and go to the respective cookie category to see the cookie audit table that you have added.
