Overview
Civic Computing provides GDPR cookie consent management software (Civic Cookie Control). Websites use it to display consent banners and manage user cookie preferences in compliance with privacy regulations.
What This Script Does
The Civic Cookie Control script displays a consent banner or dialog when visitors arrive at the website. It presents cookie categories (necessary, analytics, marketing) and records the visitor's consent choices. Based on these choices, it conditionally blocks or allows other tracking scripts on the page. A cookie is set to remember the visitor's consent preferences across sessions so the banner doesn't reappear on every visit.
Consent & Compliance
Consent category: Essential
Civic Cookie Control is itself a consent management tool—its purpose is to ensure the website complies with GDPR and ePrivacy requirements. The cookie it sets to store consent preferences is strictly necessary for compliance. Under ePrivacy, cookies that store the user's consent choice are exempt from consent requirements (they are necessary for the service the user requests by interacting with the consent dialog).
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No. Civic Cookie Control is a consent management platform. Blocking it would prevent the website from collecting consent for other scripts. It must load before all other non-essential scripts and can operate without prior consent.
Is Civic Computing GDPR compliant?
Civic Computing's trackers are classified as essential (strictly necessary), so they are generally exempt from prior consent under the GDPR. You should still list them in your cookie policy and privacy notice so visitors know they are there.
