CookieYes – Cookie Banner for Cookie Consent (Easy to setup GDPR/CCPA Compliant Cookie Notice)

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU privacy law that protects personal data and regulates how organizations handle it. It is also referred to as DSGVO (DatenSchutz-Grundverordnung) in German.

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). It gives residents more control over personal data, requiring transparency, opt-out options, and secure handling.

Under GDPR, sites must get explicit consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies (analytics, ads). This is called GDPR cookie consent.

CCPA compliance means meeting the law’s privacy requirements, including informing users about data collection, offering opt-out mechanisms like “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information,” and ensuring secure processing of user data for CCPA cookie compliance.

A GDPR plugin manages cookie consent, blocks cookies until consent, and generates cookie/privacy policies. CookieYes’s GDPR WordPress plugin automates these tasks for WordPress.
