What is cookie consent and why it is important
Cookie consent is a way that websites and online services use to inform users about the use of cookies on their platform and to obtain the user’s consent for their use.
Cookies can be used for multiple purposes, like remembering user preferences, analyzing user behavior, and providing personalized content and advertising.
Because cookies can also potentially track a user’s online activity and gather personal information, many countries have passed laws requiring websites and online services to obtain the user’s explicit consent before using cookies.
This is why websites nowadays a display cookie consent banner or pop-up that informs the user about the use of cookies and provides them with options to accept or reject the use of cookies.
This helps to ensure that users are aware of the use of cookies and have control over their personal data being used and giving them control over their privacy.
