How Does Our Banner Automatically Ensure Compliance?
Our cookie banner ensures compliance through multiple automatic mechanisms that work together to meet privacy law requirements without manual configuration.
Automatic Cookie Blocking
The banner automatically blocks all non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing, advertising) until users provide explicit consent. This means tracking scripts like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and other marketing tools won't load until users click "Accept" or select specific cookie categories.
Explicit Consent Requirements
Unlike opt-out mechanisms that assume consent, our banner requires users to actively opt-in. This meets the strictest privacy law requirements including GDPR's explicit consent standard and Quebec Law 25's opt-in requirements. Users cannot be tracked without taking a clear action.
Consent Logging and Records
Every consent decision is automatically logged with a timestamp, user choice, and IP address (anonymized). This creates an audit trail that demonstrates compliance if you're ever questioned by privacy regulators. You can access these logs through your dashboard at any time.
What Compliance Mechanisms Are Built Into the Banner?
Our banner includes multiple built-in compliance mechanisms that work automatically:
- Cookie Blocking by Default: All non-essential cookies are blocked until consent is given
- Granular Consent Controls: Users can choose specific cookie categories (analytics, marketing, functionality)
- Consent Withdrawal: Users can change their preferences at any time through a persistent "Cookie Settings" link
- Bilingual Support: Full English and French support for Quebec Law 25 compliance
- Automatic Updates: When privacy laws change, our banner is updated automatically
- Consent Expiry Handling: Consent is automatically renewed according to each law's requirements (12 months for GDPR, 24 months for PIPEDA)
