Cookie Banner Setting (Slate)

Cookie banners are now a requirement of various privacy mandates such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, an EU law on data protection and privacy that went into effect in 2018), and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act, a state law created to protect consumers in the state of California). These regulations require websites to provide privacy measures and protections to consumers and viewers in specific regions of the world, as well as gives the viewer the ability to opt-out from having their personal data recorded while browsing a website.

One particular requirement of these policies is that any website that uses cookies or collects data MUST have a cookie policy and corresponding cookie banner to alert visitors of this process.

You have the option to create and enable a Cookie Banner Policy in order to obtain the user’s consent before using cookies.
 
If enabled, the Cookie Policy will appear at the bottom of the Site.
