To accompany our website design and development services, we can set up and manage your cookie consent banner – allowing you to stay compliant with website best practices and privacy laws.
Remain Compliant with CookieYes
We have partnered with CookieYes to create cookie consent banners for your website, helping you to accurately collect user data, whilst giving users ownership over the data they share. Having a cookie consent banner is required to comply with UK laws, including GDPR, giving users the opportunity to consent to which cookies your website is allowed to set on their devices.
How Does Cookie Consent Work?
A cookie consent banner typically displays on the first page that a user lands on, allowing them to accept or decline cookies, as well as gain an insight into the type of cookies you’d like to use. When they accept, cookies are set in their browser; rejecting cookies will mean only necessary cookies that affect the functionality of the website will be set.
Users also have the option to accept all cookies, decline all (non-essential) cookies or choose which type of cookie they are willing to accept, enabling only these cookies on their device and giving them more control over the data they are happy to share.
Examples of Cookies
| Type of Cookie | What They Do | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Essential for websites, providing simple functions | Sign in to account Add items to basket |
| Functional | Enhance the performance of your website, but not vital for your site to work | Remember user location Enable online chat Enable blog comments |
| Performance | Monitor site performance, can include third party cookies | Analytics Google Analytics |
| Targeting | Attract customers with ads, sharing data with advertisers to improve performance | Google Ads |
What is Google Consent Mode?
Google Cookie Consent Mode allows you to integrate your website with Google Analytics while managing the privacy preferences of your users. Traditionally, Google Analytics would use cookies to track your users as they navigate your website, collecting data on their browsing habits during a session and even if/when they return to the website. With Consent Mode, we are now able to communicate a users’ preferences to Google, forcing them to use other heuristic methods to track a user without cookies should they prefer you not use them.
Why CookieYes?
CookieYes are experts in cookie consent management, with over six years experience in delivering innovative solutions for websites around the world.
Google Partner Gold
CookieYes have recently become the first Google Consent Management Platform (CMP) Gold Partner, highlighting their commitment to compliance. This award has been created by Google, who are working to enhance privacy-safe ad data tracking, helping advertisers and businesses to understand and value privacy.
Google Consent Mode
CookieYes integrates with Google Consent Mode – allowing websites to manage and utilise data for Google Analytics and Ads, whilst respecting user privacy.
Consent Trends
CookieYes provides an insight into consent trends, giving you an indication of how many people accept or decline consent for cookies. This data can allow you to learn and alter wording, placement and the look and feel of your consent banner (see below) to maximise consent being granted and therefore improve the accuracy of data collected .
Banner Customisation
CookieYes offers a wide range of customisation tools, allowing us to match your consent banner to your website and branding. You are able to change wording, colours and fonts, and change the location of the cookie consent banner – appearing as a sidebar, at the bottom of the page, or in the centre.
