Overview
CookieYes is a cookie consent management platform for achieving GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy compliance. It scans sites for cookies, displays customizable consent banners, and blocks third-party scripts based on visitor consent choices.
What This Script Does
The CookieYes script scans your website for cookies and categorizes them, then presents a consent banner allowing visitors to accept or reject cookie categories. It blocks third-party scripts (analytics, marketing, etc.) until the visitor grants consent for each category. Consent choices are stored in a first-party cookie and logged server-side for compliance auditing.
Consent & Compliance
- Consent Category: Essential
- Applicable Regulations: GDPR, CCPA, ePrivacy Directive
- Opt-In Required: No — this is itself a consent management tool
CookieYes is consent infrastructure. It must run before other scripts to enforce consent-based script blocking.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No. CookieYes is a consent management tool that must load unconditionally. It is strictly necessary for managing other scripts' consent requirements. Blocking it would prevent the site from collecting or enforcing user consent choices.
Is CookieYes GDPR compliant?
CookieYes'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.
