They are actually small data files without which some website functions would not work. This includes, for example, logging in, the purchase process through the e-shop, further evaluating the effectiveness of websites, and the like. Thanks to Cookies, you can also set up the website according to your preferences (language), save your password, etc.
Consent to Cookies is a legal requirement to obtain consent from website visitors before cookies are set on their devices. Consent is obtained through the Cookie banner (so-called cookie wall), which allows visitors to accept or reject cookies on the website.
Personal data protection regulations such as GDPR in the EU require companies to obtain consent to collect a user's personal data. Because cookies and trackers can store personal data and can be used to identify an individual, they are considered part of personal data.
So the answer to the question is YES, even if Cookies do not contain any personal data.
Cookie's CMP (Consent Management Platform) allows you to monitor and document any kind of tracking on your website, display relevant information to your website visitors, and automatically obtain and record all user consents.
In case of possible inspection by the authorities, you must submit consents from individual visitors upon request.
Yes, you must obtain consent to the use of cookies from your website visitors if your website uses cookies (currently all websites use them) and your website is used by residents of a country with valid data protection regulations such as GDPR or other regulations in world such as LGPD and CCPA.
If your website uses only strictly necessary cookies or cookies that are necessary to perform the service expected by the user (for example, session cookies), you can be exempted from consenting to cookies. However, please note that most websites set cookies that do not meet this criterion and are therefore required to obtain the user's consent to cookies.
A cookie consent banner displayed on your website will record the user's response and set cookies based on that response. If the user accepts all cookies, then all cookies will be set automatically in his browser. If they reject all cookies, only strictly necessary cookies (which are necessary for the website to function) will be set. If they customize their cookie preferences, only the categories of cookies you have allowed will be set in their browser.
Cookie consent should not last longer than a year, that is, you should renew the user's consent after 1 year. Depending on the guidelines of your national data protection authority (DPA), you may also be asked to renew user consent every 6 months.

Our built-in scanner scans your website and identifies all cookies and scripts on your site. Using our cookie database, the scanner categorizes cookies, and the results are made available as a cookie audit chart that can be enabled on a consent banner.
It can take a few minutes to a few hours to complete a scan of your website. It depends on the number of pages to scan and the speed of the website.
When you start a website scan on Cookienovo, a certain number of pages are scanned at once. It depends on the plan you have subscribed to. For example, you can scan up to 10 pages with the free plan, and even up to 30,000 pages with the Enterprise plan.
Cookienovo is platform agnostic and can be successfully implemented on custom websites or CMS websites.
Cookienovo only collects masked IP addresses of your visitors to keep records of cookie consents in the consent log. It never collects any other personal data of your visitors.
