What You Need to Know About Cookie Preferences and Cookie Policies for Your Website

Privacy legislation and privacy practices are moving more and more all the time towards more transparency, and I get a lot of questions about cookies and what we need to do about them as business owners with websites.

In this episode, I highlight what cookies are for, why we need them, plus the policies and processes you need to ensure are in place as a business owner.

Today you’ll hear about:

• What cookies are and why are they needed on websites
  
  
• The reasons why we need to have a policy around cookies stated on our website
  
  
• The four most important things to have on your website right now
  
  
• A look at cookie preferences and “Cookiebot”
  
  
• When and where cookies are required, plus the times when they are not
  
  
• The different types of cookies on a website and what responsibilities the privacy officer in a business will have in this process

This episode is a must-listen for business owners navigating the intricacies of privacy legislation and online transparency, and my hope is it provides you with a guide and framework for understanding cookies and implementing the appropriate policies around them.
