Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a cookie banner GDPR compliant?+
A GDPR-compliant cookie banner must inform visitors about cookie use before placing non-essential cookies, provide an option to accept or reject different cookie categories, make it as easy to reject cookies as to accept them, not use pre-checked consent boxes, include a link to the full cookie policy, and allow visitors to withdraw consent at any time. 'Cookie walls' that block access without consent are not compliant in most EU countries.
Can I use 'continue browsing' as cookie consent?+
No. Under GDPR, implied consent (such as continuing to browse) is not valid for non-essential cookies. The European Data Protection Board has clarified that consent must be a clear, affirmative action — such as clicking an 'Accept' button. Scrolling, navigating, or simply continuing to use the site does not constitute valid consent under GDPR.
How long should cookie consent be stored?+
GDPR does not specify an exact duration for cookie consent validity, but most data protection authorities recommend refreshing consent every 6-12 months. Store the consent record (timestamp, version of consent text, user's choices) as evidence of valid consent. Some authorities recommend renewing consent whenever the cookie policy changes significantly.
