Empowering over 1.5 million websites to comply with GDPR and CCPA

CCPA is a state-wide data privacy law passed by the state legislature. It is the first major privacy law in the US that applies to any organization that collects consumers' personal information, does business in California, and meets one of the following thresholds:

• Has annual gross revenue of twenty-five million dollars or more,
• Buys, receives, sells, or shares personal information of 50,000 or more devices, consumers, or households for commercial purposes, or
• Earns 50% or more of its annual revenue from selling consumers' personal information.

Like GDPR, the CCPA also emphasizes consent. However, it mandates letting users "deny" consent (opt-out) rather than giving it (opt-in). That is, if you have a website that uses cookies to collect and sell the personal information of its users in California, you must give them the right to opt-out of it. Opt-in is not mandatory unless your user is a minor (below 16 years of age).

The requirement for CCPA compliance for cookies usually includes adding a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the cookie consent notice to opt-out of cookies that sell personal information. It must be accompanied by a link to the privacy policy page.

To check whether your website is compliant with GDPR and CCPA for cookies, you must first identify the cookies set by your website. It is important to understand the properties of each cookie and its source (first-party or third-party).

You can use our free cookie scanner that will test your website and identify the cookies and give you a detailed scan report. Or you can use CookieYes for a deeper cookie scan and analytics with a complete cookie consent solution.

CookieYes is a consent management solution that helps to collect and manage cookie consent on your website. By adding the CookieYes cookie banner, you can effectively ask the users for consent to use cookies and give them the control to accept or deny consent or decide which type of cookies they want to consent to.

CookieYes' function is so much more than just a cookie pop-up that informs about and asks for cookie consent. It conducts a deep scan of your website for cookies and auto-blocks third-party cookies set by services like YouTube, Facebook, Hotjar, etc. until the users explicitly accept them. Moreover, you can manually add scripts that set such cookies. You have the option to allow users to change their consent by enabling the consent revisit widget.

It is not mandatory to get cookie consent from everyone. You can make use of our geo-targeting feature to target users from the EU, UK, or US only. It supports multilingual websites by allowing auto-translation of the cookie banner to over 30 widely spoken languages.

To give a comprehensive compliance solution for GDPR and CCPA (and many other major privacy laws), we also offer free privacy policy and cookie policy generators.

CookieYes is an all-around tool for cookie compliance that offers many more features and a user-friendly interface for making compliance easy for you.

CookieYes is for anyone who wants to make their website GDPR and CCPA compliant for cookies.

CookieYes banner's integration with CSS customization and its support for the browser's Do Not Track setting make sure that it is developer-friendly.

Simply said, CookieYes is for anyone who respects the privacy of their website's users.
