Overview

Cookie Information is a European consent management platform that delivers GDPR-compliant cookie consent banners and manages consent records for publisher sites. It provides the infrastructure for obtaining, storing, and auditing user consent choices.

What This Script Does

The Cookie Information script scans your site for cookies and trackers, displays a consent banner to visitors, and records consent choices with timestamps. It stores consent state in cookies or local storage so returning visitors are not re-prompted. Consent records are logged server-side for regulatory audit purposes.

Consent & Compliance

  • Consent Category: Essential / Functional
  • Applicable Regulations: GDPR, ePrivacy Directive
  • Opt-In Required: No — this is itself a consent management tool

As a consent management platform, Cookie Information is essential infrastructure for achieving compliance. It must load before other scripts in order to gate them based on user consent.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Cookie Information is a consent management tool and must load unconditionally to function. Blocking it would prevent users from making consent choices, defeating the purpose of consent management. It is classified as essential/strictly necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cookie Information need user consent before it loads?

No. Cookie Information is consent management infrastructure. It must load unconditionally to scan your site, display the consent banner, and gate other tracking scripts. Blocking it would prevent users from making consent choices, defeating the purpose of compliance entirely.

What does Cookie Information store on a visitor's device?

Cookie Information stores consent choices and timestamps in cookies or local storage so returning visitors are not re-prompted. Consent records are also logged server-side for regulatory audit purposes, enabling you to demonstrate valid consent if challenged by a data protection authority.

If I switch to ConsentStack, can I remove Cookie Information?

Yes. ConsentStack fully replaces Cookie Information as your consent management layer. ConsentStack handles consent banner display, preference storage, and audit logging. Running both simultaneously creates duplicate banners and conflicting consent signals, so Cookie Information should be removed when adopting ConsentStack.
