Overview

Cookie-Script is a consent management platform (CMP) that helps websites comply with cookie consent requirements under GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. When Cookie-Script's scripts appear on websites, they're displaying the cookie consent banner itself — the dialog that asks visitors to accept or decline different categories of cookies.

This makes Cookie-Script unique among third-party scripts: it's the tool that manages consent for all the other scripts. It needs to load before anything else to enforce consent preferences.

What This Script Does

Cookie-Script's scripts manage cookie consent:

  • Consent banner display: Renders a customizable consent banner or dialog presenting cookie categories (necessary, analytics, marketing, preferences) for visitor selection
  • Consent preference capture: Records the visitor's consent choices — which cookie categories they accept or decline
  • Script blocking enforcement: Blocks third-party scripts from loading until the visitor consents to the relevant category, then unblocks approved scripts
  • Consent storage: Stores consent preferences in a cookie so the banner doesn't reappear on every page load
  • Consent record keeping: Maintains an audit trail of consent decisions for compliance documentation
  • Cookie scanning: Catalogs cookies set by the website and categorizes them for the consent interface

Consent & Compliance

  • GDPR: Cookie-Script is itself a compliance tool. Its consent management cookie is strictly necessary for enforcing the consent preferences the visitor expressed.
  • ePrivacy Directive: The consent preference cookie is a "strictly necessary" cookie — it's required to respect the visitor's privacy choices.
  • IAB TCF: Cookie-Script supports the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework for programmatic advertising consent.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Cookie-Script is the consent management tool itself — it must load without consent to present the consent choices to the visitor. Blocking Cookie-Script would prevent visitors from expressing their consent preferences, which would undermine the entire consent management system. This is essential privacy infrastructure.

No.

Is Cookie-Script GDPR compliant?

Cookie-Script typically loads functional trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So Cookie-Script can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads Cookie-Script, not on Cookie-Script itself.
