CookieFirst is a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that handles cookie consent on your website in line with the GDPR and other data protection regulations. It shows visitors a customizable cookie banner, blocks non-essential scripts until consent is given, documents every decision in an audit-proof way and keeps your cookie declaration up to date through automatic monthly scans. Since tracking, analytics and marketing cookies may only be set after active consent, a compliant consent tool is no longer optional for most websites – it is a legal requirement. As a Google Certified CMP Partner, CookieFirst covers this reliably, from a simple website to a complex international setup, and we integrate it cleanly into your systems.
GDPR Requirements You Need to Consider
If you run a website, you must comply with current data protection requirements. Since December 2021, additional rules – in Germany now the TDDDG – govern the use of tracking technologies for marketing purposes. A cookie consent banner is mandatory, and several legal requirements must be handled through its technical features.
Get consent before any cookie is set
Non-essential cookies for tracking, analytics and advertising may only load after users actively agree via the banner – for example by clicking a button. CookieFirst blocks all scripts until that moment.
Tell users exactly what they agree to
Before consenting, visitors must see which cookies you use, for what purpose, how long they are stored and which third parties are involved. CookieFirst generates this declaration automatically and keeps it current.
Prove every consent in an audit
Supervisory authorities can ask you to demonstrate that consent was given. CookieFirst logs every decision with timestamp and settings, stored securely and exportable in a few clicks.
