How to Display a Cookie Audit Table on Your Website Using CookieYes?

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, its purposes, and other specifications.

CookieYes enables you to add cookie audit tables inside your cookie consent banner as well as display them on the front end of your website. You can also customize the cookie audit tables set by CookieYes with much ease.

Our setup guide will help you get started with CookieYes.

Displaying cookie audit tables on the front end of your website

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

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

See how your website will look like, after adding this code.

Adding cookies to the cookie audit table manually

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

Note After logging in to your CookieYes account, navigate to Consent Banner > Behaviour to ensure the Show audit table option is enabled. Remember, CookieYes will display the audit table inside your cookie consent banner, only if this option is enabled. So if the option is not enabled yet, enable it now using the toggle button and click Save Changes to save your settings.

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

Step 1: From your CookieYes dashboard, go to Manage Cookies in the left panel > 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, Type, 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.

• Type: Select either http or https based on the domain.


• Duration: Specify the time duration the cookies will persist on the users’ browser.
