Consent management

Cookie Information plugin

Essential

Cookie Information is a Danish consent management platform that displays a cookie banner, blocks non essential cookies until the visitor chooses, and records their consent. Its own consent cookie is strictly necessary and exempt from consent, and it is built to make a website compliant with the GDPR and ePrivacy.

Overview

What does Cookie Information plugin do?

What Cookie Information is

Cookie Information is a consent management platform from Denmark that helps websites comply with the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. It scans the site for cookies and trackers, shows a consent banner, blocks non essential scripts until the visitor decides, and logs the consent given so the website can demonstrate compliance.

What data and cookies Cookie Information collects

The plugin stores the visitor consent choices in a first party cookie or local storage so the banner is not shown again on every page, and it keeps a consent log that may include a pseudonymous identifier, the timestamp, and the choices made. This is limited data used to operate and prove consent.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

A cookie that only stores the user consent preferences is strictly necessary and exempt from consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, so the consent banner itself does not require consent. Recording proof of consent supports your accountability obligations and rests on legal obligation and legitimate interest.

What it does for compliance

Cookie Information is the tool that enforces consent for the other services on your site. Configured correctly, it ensures analytics, marketing, and other non essential cookies stay blocked until the visitor accepts them, presents clear categories, and lets users withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.

Practical compliance steps

Configure the banner so non essential cookies are blocked by default, present granular categories, and offer an equally prominent reject option. Sign a data processing agreement, confirm EU hosting of the consent records, set a sensible re consent interval, and keep the consent log to evidence compliance.

Impact assessment (DPIA)

Cookie Information processes limited consent data within the EU and is a privacy enhancing tool, so a DPIA is generally not required for the platform itself. Its main role is to help you meet consent and accountability obligations for the other services on your site.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Cookie Information plugin

Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.

What cookies does Cookie Information set?

It sets a first party consent cookie that stores your category choices so the banner is not shown again, and a session cookie to manage the banner. These are strictly necessary cookies for the consent function.

Is consent required for Cookie Information itself?

No. A cookie that only stores consent preferences is strictly necessary and exempt under Article 5(3) ePrivacy, so the consent banner does not require consent to operate. It is the tool that collects consent for everything else.

What is the legal basis for Cookie Information?

Operating the banner relies on the strictly necessary exemption, and keeping a consent log rests on legal obligation and legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(c) and (f) to demonstrate compliance.

Does Cookie Information transfer data outside the EU?

No. Cookie Information is a Danish provider and consent records are processed within the European Union. Confirm the hosting region in your data processing agreement.

Is a DPIA needed for Cookie Information?

A DPIA is generally not required for the consent platform itself because it processes limited consent data and is a privacy enhancing measure. It helps you meet obligations for the other tools on your site.

How do I implement Cookie Information correctly?

Block non essential cookies by default, present granular categories with an equally prominent reject option, allow easy withdrawal, sign a data processing agreement, and keep the consent log to evidence compliance.

Are there alternatives to Cookie Information?

Other consent management platforms offer similar banners and blocking. The key is that whichever you choose actually blocks non essential cookies before consent and records the choices reliably.

How do I update my cookie policy for Cookie Information?

List its consent cookie as strictly necessary with its purpose and duration, and explain that it stores your cookie preferences. The platform can also generate the cookie declaration for the rest of your site.
