Does Your Website Need A Cookie Consent Banner?

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and Donata Stroink-Skillrud for a chat about recent laws and Google’s pressure to require websites to allow visitors to opt-in to tracking.

Donata Stroink-Skillrud is the president of Termageddon — a privacy policy generator that automatically updates your website policies as privacy laws change. She’s also a licensed attorney and Certified Information Privacy Professional who is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, a member of the American Bar Association’s Science and Technology Council, a member of the ABA’s Cybersecurity Legal Task Force, Vice-Chair of Program Committee, and Vice-Chair of Privacy, Security and Emerging Technology Division.

In this Episode:

• Donata talks about putting cookie consent banners on websites.
• Donata says all cookies that are not essential to the operation of the website need to be disabled by default.
• Donata discusses the use of privacy focused analytics tools.
• Donata talks about two analytics tools we can use to keep us out of trouble.
• Donata also talks about how all this is complicated, but doesn’t have to be so complicated.

Quotes from this Episode:
“One of the aspects of the DMA was the fact that companies need to obtain consent from a user prior to them being tracked by certain services.” – Donata Stroink-Skillrud
“A cookie consent banner is not required by all laws.” – Donata Stroink-Skillrud
“In the US, we don’t have a federal privacy law that governs websites and website tracking.” – Donata Stroink-Skillrud
“So you can either remove these tools, change to something else, or provide adequate choice and information to the consumer.” – Donata Stroink-Skillrud
“This really stemmed from people being tracked and all these things being done to their data without their knowledge and consent.” – Donata Stroink-Skillrud
