Cookie Information is an EU based consent management platform (CMP) that scans, categorises and blocks cookies, displays a consent banner and stores documented proof of consent.
Cookie Information is a consent management platform developed by the Danish company Cookie Information A/S. It scans your website for cookies and trackers, categorises them, blocks non essential scripts until the visitor decides and presents a configurable consent banner. It also records and stores documented proof of every consent choice.
To remember a decision, Cookie Information stores a strictly necessary cookie that holds the consent string and the categories accepted. For consent logging it may process a truncated or hashed IP address and a pseudonymous identifier. It does not build advertising profiles or track users across unrelated sites.
Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive a website must obtain prior consent before non essential cookies are set. Cookie Information is the mechanism that collects, enforces and documents that consent. Because it makes other tags compliant, correct configuration is essential: scripts must be genuinely blocked before consent, not merely hidden.

The Cookie Information banner is exempt from prior consent because storing a record of preferences is strictly necessary, so you do not need consent to load the CMP. You do, however, need the CMP to gate every analytics, marketing and personalisation tag behind a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous opt in.
Cookie Information is a European vendor that processes consent data within the European Union, which removes the international transfer concerns affecting many United States based tools. Confirm the current data processing agreement and hosting region in your contract and keep the signed DPA on file as part of your accountability documentation.
Run a full cookie scan and review the automatic categorisation before going live. Enable prior blocking so tags fire only after consent, configure granular categories and set a sensible consent lifetime with periodic re prompting. Finally, connect the consent signal to Google Consent Mode or your tag manager so downstream tools respect the visitor choice.
Websites using Cookie Information must obtain user consent under GDPR regulations.
DPIA considerations
As a consent tool processing limited personal data (consent records, a pseudonymous identifier and possibly a truncated IP), Cookie Information is generally low risk. A full DPIA is rarely required, but document the categories logged, the retention of consent proofs and any IP truncation settings.
Sample consent text
We use Cookie Information to manage your cookie preferences and to keep a record of your consent. This strictly necessary function does not require your prior consent.

Cookie Information is an essential service, but transparency matters. Manage all your consent with FlowConsent.
It sets a strictly necessary cookie that stores the visitor consent choice and the categories accepted, typically for up to 12 months. This cookie does not track browsing or build profiles.
No. The CMP cookie that records preferences is strictly necessary and exempt from prior consent under the ePrivacy Directive, although the tags it controls do require consent.
The platform relies on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for operating the banner and on your obligation to document consent. The consent it then collects becomes the legal basis (Art. 6(1)(a)) for the tools you load.
No. Cookie Information is a Danish vendor that processes and stores consent data within the European Union, so the usual third country safeguards for US tools do not apply. Always confirm the hosting region in your DPA.
A full DPIA is rarely required because the platform processes only limited consent data. Document the data categories, log retention and IP handling, and run a DPIA only if you combine it with high risk processing.
Run a cookie scan, enable prior blocking so non essential tags fire only after opt in, configure granular categories and link the consent signal to your tag manager and Google Consent Mode. Test that scripts are genuinely blocked before consent.
Comparable EU friendly consent platforms include Cookiebot, Usercentrics, Axeptio, CookieYes and Complianz. The right choice depends on traffic, IAB TCF support, languages and your hosting and budget constraints.
Use the recurring scan to detect new cookies and trackers, then publish the generated cookie declaration on your policy page so it stays current. Re run the scan after every significant site or marketing change.
