Does Termly itself require cookie consent?
No, Termly generally does not require separate cookie consent. It is a privacy compliance platform that displays consent banners and records visitor consent choices. Its own cookie stores the visitor's consent state, which is considered essential for delivering the consent management function and is typically exempt from consent requirements.
What cookies and scripts does Termly use?
Termly loads a script that displays a cookie consent banner based on visitor jurisdiction, records consent choices, and sets a cookie to remember consent state across sessions. It also scans the site to categorize other cookies present. The consent state cookie is first-party and persists to prevent repeated consent prompts on return visits.
