Cookie Consent Definition: Cookie consent obtains user permission before setting non-essential tracking cookies, as required by GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive via cookie banners.
Cookie consent is the process of obtaining a user's permission before storing or accessing non-essential cookies and similar tracking technologies on their device. It is required under privacy laws such as the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, which mandate informed, freely given, and specific consent for analytics, advertising, and other tracking cookies. Implementations typically use a cookie banner that lets users accept, reject, or granularly manage cookie categories before any non-essential tracking begins.
