Frequently askedquestions

Cookielet is a Cookie Consent Management platform built to handle compliance for your website, so you don't have to think about it. It scans your site and finds every cookie and tracking script running in the background. Then it shows visitors a consent banner that actually matches the privacy law in their region — GDPR if they're in the EU, CCPA if they're in California, and so on. Anything non-essential stays paused until someone actually says yes to it, and every response gets logged with a timestamp so you've got a record if you ever need one.

If your site uses analytics, ad pixels, or any kind of tracking technology, and visitors come from places like the EU, UK, or California, you're already dealing with rules that require proper consent. That's true for online stores, SaaS tools, blogs, agencies — basically anyone collecting visitor data. Cookielet figures out which law applies to which visitor automatically based on location.

Once installed, it scans your entire site to map out cookies, pixels, and third-party scripts. It then detects where each visitor is coming from and displays the right banner — an opt-in style for EU traffic, an opt-out style for California visitors. Every choice gets saved to a secure log with a timestamp attached.

One script, added to your site's header — that's really the whole process. No manually hunting down every cookie yourself, no code overhaul. The script triggers an automatic scan and starts showing location-based banners right away, whether your site runs on WordPress, Shopify, or something custom-built.

Usually just minutes. Once the script is live, scanning, detection, and banner display all happen automatically, so there's very little manual configuration standing between you and being compliant.

No. Cookielet loads in the background so your pages continue loading smoothly. Until a visitor gives consent, non-essential cookies, analytics, and advertising pixels stay blocked, reducing unnecessary requests during the first page load.

GDPR, UK GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA, LGPD, POPIA, PDPL, and other major data protection regulations. Based on each visitor's location, Cookielet automatically displays the correct banner and applies the appropriate privacy settings.

It covers the major ones, and that list keeps growing as new regulations show up worldwide. Updates happen regularly to keep pace with changing legal standards.

Yes — a visitor in Germany sees a banner requiring active opt-in before any tracking starts. A visitor in California sees CCPA/CPRA-style options, including a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" toggle where required. The geo-based logic handles it automatically.

Yes. You can adjust colors, logo placement, and wording so the banner feels like a natural part of your site instead of a bolted-on legal notice. The underlying consent logic stays exactly the same.

Yes. Cookielet can display the consent banner in the visitor's own language automatically, based on their location or browser settings, so people actually understand what they're agreeing to.
