Responsive Cookie Consent Notice Maker in Blogger
Wazzup Buddy! In this article I will be teaching you on How to Add a Responsive Cookie Consent Notice in Blogger website.
INTRODUCTION
A website must ask its users’ consent to use cookies that are not necessary for accessing the website’s functionality. These cookies need consent because they collect user data for their purposes. According to the law, collecting data without users’ consent is unlawful.
Moreover, consent is one of the six legal bases for processing user data.
So, if you use cookies for a purpose that does not meet the other five legal bases, then you require the users’ explicit consent to collect data via cookie identifiers.
So it's really important to know as a blogger that we must have a consent notice on our websites. You must put up a cookie warning notice that notifies users about cookies and how to manage them.
A Responsive Cookie consent notice for every blogger must be valid, it must have the following features:
- Informed
- Freely given
- Specific
- Unambiguous
- Revocable
- Demonstrable
Now, I will be teaching you the steps on how to make a responsive cookie consent in blogger!
