Cookies are what make your website remember things, like what's in a shopping cart or a user's dark mode preference. They also help you understand how visitors use your site and improve their experience. Some cookies are essential, while others support analytics, marketing, or personalisation. LoveCookies helps you spot, sort, and manage them transparently so visitors stay informed and in control.
Not all of them. Essential cookies - the ones your site needs to run properly - don't require consent. But analytics, marketing, and tracking cookies usually do under laws like the UK GDPR. LoveCookies makes it simple to show users clear choices and collect valid consent for each cookie category.
Under privacy laws like the UK GDPR, your users have rights over their personal data. That includes the right to know what you're collecting, why you're collecting it, and how it's used. They can also request access, updates, deletion, or withdraw consent whenever they choose. Your website should make all of this easy to find and understand.
Anything that can identify someone, directly or indirectly. That could be a name or email, but also an IP address, device ID, or browsing pattern collected through cookies or similar tools. Basically, if it can be linked back to a person, treat it as personal data.
A legal basis is your official reason for processing someone's personal data. It's what makes your data handling lawful. Common reasons include consent, fulfilling a contract, or legitimate interest. For cookies that track or profile users, explicit consent is typically the required basis.
No problem. Many businesses fall under multiple regulations, like UK GDPR, EU GDPR, or even CCPA. LoveCookies is built to flex with you, letting you adapt your consent banner, policy text, and consent records to meet different regional requirements.
There might be a small dip in analytics data if users opt out, but the payoff is worth it. Being upfront about privacy builds credibility and long-term trust. Transparent websites tend to attract more loyal users who feel comfortable engaging with your brand.
No, compliance is ultimately your responsibility. LoveCookies gives you the tools and secure foundation to manage consent properly, but how you configure and apply them depends on your business. We always recommend speaking to a qualified legal professional to make sure your setup aligns with current regulations.
