What happens if I don't use a cookie consent policy on my website?

Learn what happens if you don't use a cookie consent policy on your website. Discover why it's important to protect user data and avoid legal issues with a cookie policy.

If you don't use a cookie consent policy on your website, that means you're in violation of a few privacy rules and regulations. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR) framework, web visitors must have the freedom to give or not give consent to any and all cookies that are running on websites.

Let's first take a look at what exactly these cookies are for! Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. These text bits help the website remember information about your visit, which then makes it faster for you to visit the site again while making the site more useful to you.

The information saved in cookies can be used for a variety of purposes – like retargeting marketing campaigns or to collect in-depth web statistics. A cookie banner lets web visitors decide if they want to accept or reject these cookies while they're browsing your website.

With Serviceform's Cookie banner, you give the freedom to your web visitors to select which cookies they want to disable and which cookies they don't mind keeping active. Instead of just saying 'accept all' or 'reject all', Serviceform's cookie banner gives your web visitor 100% control over privacy preferences.
