Cookie Consent Banner App

Introduction​

In today’s digital age, user privacy and data transparency have become critical aspects of running a successful online business. For businesses operating in or targeting the EU, compliance with cookie consent laws is not just a legal obligation—it’s a chance to build trust and loyalty with your customers.

The Cookie Consent Banner App for Ecwid by Lightspeed Apps, developed by AppifyCommerce, offers a simple yet powerful solution to help you meet these legal requirements while keeping your website looking professional and inviting.

The EU Directive 2002/58/EC, also known as the Cookie Consent Law, mandates that websites must collect informed consent from users before deploying non-essential cookies (such as ad tracking cookies). This applies to businesses based in or targeting EU member states.

Non-compliance could result in fines, but beyond legal risks, a well-designed cookie banner demonstrates that your business respects users’ privacy—a vital factor in building customer trust.

To stay compliant, you need to inform users about your use of cookies in clear, simple language. This includes:

  • Why you use cookies (e.g., for analytics or advertising).
  • Whether the cookies are essential (for functionalities like online banking) or non-essential.
  • The type of cookies used and whether third parties can access the data.
  • Assurances that cookies won’t be used for any unintended purposes.
  • Instructions on how users can withdraw consent, such as leaving the website.

Most websites display this information using a customizable cookie banner with consent buttons and a link to a detailed privacy policy.

Our Cookie Consent Banner App is specifically designed to simplify this process, offering an easy-to-use and visually appealing solution to display cookie consent messages on your Ecwid store.
