My site has a dedicated cookie policy page
A cookie policy must list every cookie, its purpose, duration, and whether it is first or third party.
A cookie consent banner appears on first visit before any non-essential cookies are set
Cookies must not be set before explicit consent. This is the #1 enforcement violation.
My banner has a 'Reject All' option as prominent as 'Accept All'
Equal prominence is required. Burying rejection behind extra clicks is a dark pattern regulators fine for.
Users can accept or reject individual cookie categories (necessary, analytics, marketing)
Granular consent is required. Bundling all cookies into one accept/reject is not compliant.
Users can access my site even if they reject all non-essential cookies
Cookie walls (forcing consent to access content) are illegal under GDPR in most EU jurisdictions.
Users can withdraw cookie consent at any time as easily as they gave it
GDPR requires withdrawal to be as easy as consent. A persistent settings link in the footer satisfies this.
My cookie policy lists every cookie by name, provider, purpose, and expiry
Generic descriptions are insufficient. Each cookie must be listed individually.
I re-ask for consent at least every 12 months
Consent must be renewed periodically. Most CMPs handle this automatically.
