Ready for 25 May 2018 (GDPR enforcement date)? A Cookiebot checklist.
Below we have gathered a GDPR focused checklist for your use of Cookiebot. Please note that the Cookiebot solution - and therefore also this checklist - is focusing solely on providing the tools needed to make your website’s use of cookies and online tracking compliant with both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EU ePrivacy Directive (ePR). Other aspects of the GDPR are therefore not covered with the Cookiebot solution or addressed in the checklist. The checklist is not intended as legal advice - if in doubt about GDPR compliance in general, seek advice from a trusted legal source or your national Data Protection Authority (you can find contact information under point 7 of the check list).
- 1. Make sure you have enabled ‘prior consent’
- 2. Share information about who the data controller is and about the DPO (if you have one)
- 3. Let the website user know that it is always possible to change or withdraw a consent (and make sure it is)
- 4. Use the right type of cookie consent banner and the correct way of obtaining consent
- 5. Make sure your users' personal data is only being sent to 'adequate' 3rd countries
- 6. Check your 'unclassified cookies'
- 7. Check up on other GDPR requirements for your website (not related to cookies and online tracking)
