Why re-obtain consent every six months?
Consent must remain valid and informed under GDPR. Regulators recommend refreshing cookie consent at least every six months.
Why renewal is important:
- Cookies or vendors may change.
- Users may forget or want to change their preferences.
- Long-term consent could be considered outdated.
CMPs can automate reminders to re-display the banner at the six-month mark. Some sites may re-ask sooner if new cookies are introduced or data processing changes.
Refresh consent every six months to stay compliant and maintain transparency.
