Cookie consent is the legal requirement to obtain consent from website visitors before setting cookies on their devices. Consent is collected via a cookie banner that enables visitors to accept or decline cookies on the website.
Privacy regulations like the GDPR in the EU and UK, LGPD in Brazil, POPIA in South Africa and similar laws around the world require businesses to get consent for collecting a user’s personal data. As cookies and trackers can store personal data and be used to identify an individual, they are considered part of personal data.
Yes, you are required to get cookie consent from your website visitors if your website uses cookies (all websites do) and your website is used by residents of a country with privacy regulations like the GDPR in place.
If your website only uses strictly necessary cookies or cookies that are essential to perform a service expected by the user (eg: session cookies), you can be exempt from cookie consent. But note that, most websites set cookies that do not meet this criterion and therefore are required to get user consent for cookies.
