Already have a Cookiebot account?

You can use the existing banner configuration in the domain group you set up for GDPR compliance. You would only need to check your regions and ensure that Brazil is included. Also ensure that Brazilian Portuguese is added under languages

Alternatively, you can create a new domain group for your LGPD setup. Want to use our solution to cover both GDPR, LGPD and maybe even CCPA as well? No problem. See our guide on how to setup multiple banners on the same domain at no extra cost, to cover different regions.

Step 1: Add your domain

• Log into the Cookiebot Manager and navigate to the Domains tab.
• Enter the domain name (excluding the "https://" part, for example: domain.com)

Step 2: banner type

Navigate to Settings > Dialog. For LGPD compliance, make sure to have the following configurations added;

• Method: Explicit Consent (in order to collect valid proof of consent)
• Type: Accept/Decline, Inline Multilevel (2 buttons and 3 button) or Multilevel (2 button and 3 button) version
• Leave checkboxes unticked

Unsure about what the right configuration is for you? Find more information in our blog post on LGPD

Step 3: Add geo-locations

If you'd like to limit the banner to be displayed only to visitors from Brazil, you can do so by configuring "Distribution" at the bottom of the page:

Step 4: Set your banner language

Our solution supports 46 languages, including Portuguese. Brazilian Portuguese is currently not supported as a separate language, but we’re working on adding this as well as several other language variants. You can still easily add Brazilian Portuguese to your Cookiebot configuration, simply by replacing one of the existing languages. As an example, it is easy to make your banner show Portuguese by default and manually adjust your Portuguese text to Brazilian Portuguese. This can all be done through your Cookiebot manager.

Step 5: Check your monthly scan report

With Cookiebot you receive monthly scan reports with detailed information on cookies and other tracking found on your website. Your report will currently only highlight compliance towards the GDPR adequacy list. This information should be manually assessed in relation to LGPD.

Make sure to check your report for these 3 things;

1. Unclassified cookies
2. Cookie not blocked before consent is provided
3. Data is sent to adequate countries^*

^*GDPR introduced the notion of data protection “adequacy”, where certain countries outside of the EU are deemed to have “GDPR-adequate” levels of personal data rights and protection measures in place. Data transfer can happen to these countries without the need for additional safeguards and similar to intra-EU transmissions of data. The list of adequate countries can be found here: the GDPR Adequacy decision list.

LGPD takes a similar approach, however the list of LGPD-adequate countries has not yet been published. It is known however, that the countries operating under GDPR (EU plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) are deemed LGPD-adequate.

Limitations in the Cookiebot compliance test and scan: Currently the Cookiebot compliance test does not fully support LGPD as a separate legislation from GDPR. We’re working on this. Our current compliance test will scan your website and assess your compliance against the GDPR ruleset. This has no effect on Cookiebot’s ability to comply with LGPD.

Step 6: Get your scripts

• Navigate to the "Your scripts" pane
• Follow the instructions to insert your banner and cookie declaration on your website.
  If you intend to implement Cookiebot CMP by other means than manually adding the script(s) to your template, please refer to our implementation section in the Help Center.

First time set up

If you are setting up Cookiebot for the first time, you can select the LGPD preset at the very first step in the lower left portion of the screen.
This will automatically configure the banner to comply with LGPD. You can still make some changes to suit your needs though.

Adding LGPD as an additional legislation

When adding LGPD as an additional legislation, you will need to create a separate domain group that is configured to comply with LGPD.

Follow the following steps to create the additional domain group.

• Add a new domain group.
  • If you only have a single domain group:
    • Select "Domains & Aliases" from the left-hand menu.
    • Click "Manage your domain groups".
      
  • If you already have multiple domain groups:
    • Click "Manage" at the top of the domain group section of the left-hand menu
      
  • Click the "+ Create group" button.
    
• Name your new domain group "LGPD" and press the "Create group" button.
• Click the "Configure CMP" icon on the line with your new domain group.
  
• Click "Legislation presets" at the right side of the screen and select the LGPD preset.
  
• Click the "Save changes" button to save your domain group settings.
