4. Use the right type of cookie consent banner and the correct way of obtaining consent

The Cookiebot solution comes with a number of different cookie consent banner templates. These determine where the cookie consent banner is placed on your website (Template), what consent method is in use (Method) and what type of consent the user is asked for (Type). Alternatively, you can build your own custom banner.

The type of personal data you handle and the way the cookies and trackers on your website use the personal data you obtain from your users has an impact on what banner is appropriate to use. Please see What type of cookie consent banner should I use (to be GDPR compliant)? to check the use of your current banner template.

If you are making use of a template with checkboxes, in addition to the above-mentioned article, please see Is it GDPR compliant to have all 4 checkboxes in the banner pre-ticked? which we have updated with the latest information about our efforts to receive formal clarification.
