Introduction
Choosing the best data privacy management software doesn’t have to be complicated. The right tool finds your cookies, asks visitors for permission, and keeps proof of every choice. Here’s how Cookielet’s features help you do exactly that.
For example, one day a client will ask you via email: “Please demonstrate which permissions have been granted by visitors on our website back in March? ” Looking at your site, you’ll find that there is a cookie banner on it, however, there isn’t a single piece of information there.It is from this moment that most people start their quest to find privacy protection software. Today in our blog post, we will be talking about Cookielet in simple terms. You’ll discover how it works, advantages and limitations.
In short, Cookielet is a cookie consent solution. It detects all of the cookies that you have on
your website, displays the corresponding banner for each user depending on his/her location, stops
tracking until you give your consent and keep track of everything that happens on your website.
What is data privacy management software?
It is software that helps you to comply with your clients’ preferences regarding their data privacy.
There is both small and large-scale software in this field. The former gives you a banner and policy, while the latter takes care of people asking what information you have on them and mapping out where this information is stored.
Most website owners prefer to start with the small one. Cookies are the part of software that everyone sees, so here is the problem.
What to look for
When choosing any application, you should consider:
- Does it cover all the trackers on your website, even the ones that you may have forgotten?
- Does it impose restrictions on the right visitors?
- Is the script blocked until the visitor gives consent?
- How can I get the consent from the visitor in the future?
- Can it be installed without a developer’s help?
- We will now examine whether Cookielet satisfies all of these conditions.
1. It identifies your cookies automatically
Cookielet inspects your website and lists all cookies, pixels, and third-party scripts on it. They are then divided into categories, such as required, analytics, marketing, and others. Each cookie’s ownership, function, and expiration period is presented.
Automated scanning can be done on a weekly basis or even daily basis. This is because websites tend to change from time to time. There may come a time when you introduce a chat widget or embed videos in your website, which introduces new cookies without you realizing.
2. It displays appropriate banners to different visitors
Colouring, fonts, design, placement, buttons’ wording, and logo of the banner can be adjusted to match your website. Light, dark and auto theme options are provided.
Cookielet also checks the geographical location of each user. Users from EU will get opt-in
banner. Californian users will get something like “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” notice. Accept all, reject all and per-category choice are available.
Advice for All Banners: “Reject” should be as easily reached as “Accept.” The European regulatory authorities pay attention to this requirement.
3. It delays scripts until people agree
To make the banners work, your tools should wait for the answer. Cookielet stops non-essential scripts from loading until the user gives their consent. You activate this option by choosing a configuration from the install code, instead of manually editing each script.
This solution is also compatible with Google Consent Mode v2 if you have Google Ads or
Google Analytics.
4. It keeps track of every decision
Cookielet stores users’ decisions with the exact date and time. You can view statistics for each region. This tool also creates a report about banner activity, scans and exports.
If someone from a client or a regulatory body wants to know something, you will be ready to answer.
6. Creates your cookie and privacy policies
is more beneficial than taking a sample document from some other website because the
document will reflect all the cookies that you use.
