Customizable Cookie Notification
Engage offers a customizable cookie notification that allows our websites to remain legally compliant. Much like the name depicts, an automatic cookie notice is a pop-up bar that informs browsers their data is being collected via cookies, and by staying on your website they are aware of this fact. You will see a cookie notification in some form or another on any major website that exists on the web, and it is a great legal protection to have in place in the case a browser has an issue with their data in the future.
While website cookies are often an afterthought to browsers, they are not an afterthought to us. Cookies are small files that a website leaves behind on your computer, phone, or tablet browser to store info about your future browsing preferences.
As a user, cookies are beneficial because they allow sites to get to know you so that you don't need to sign in each time. In addition, they store your searches so that a website can present materials that are more likely to match your browsing habits. Most people accept cookies with a click of a button and enjoy a customizable browsing experience- even if they don't understand why or how it is occurring. However, as a website owner, you need to be alert customers to this practice to avoid future legal issues.
In order to remain GPR and CCPA compliant you need to have an automatic cookie notice on your website that not only alerts users that cookies are being collected but also allows them to opt-in or out of data collection. Think of your cookie notice as an annual privacy notice from your bank, email, or doctor's office. While it seems like a small detail, it is a small detail that keeps your website compliant with all current internet privacy standards and protects your business from future lawsuits.
While this may sound stressful, it isn't if you allow Engage to handle your cookie notification. We can craft a simple pop-up that automatically occurs when a user accesses your website to ensure that your browsers are duly informed. One small adjustment is all it takes to create a solution for any industry, service, or website.
