Tens of thousands of websites use OneTrust for cookie banners and preference centres, garnering billions of consent records. OneTrust scans websites for cookies and other tracking technologies and automatically categorises them based on OneTrust’s exclusive Cookiepedia.co.uk database of nearly 6 million trackers. With 50 supported languages, OneTrust can dynamically deliver various consent models across different regions, including opt-out, opt-in, explicit, implied, notice only or a custom option.
To demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations such as the GDPR and ePrivacy, the new records of consent feature maintains a detailed archive of a website visitors’ cookie consent preferences with masked user identification details. Customers can show regulators a record of the user’s consent to specific cookie categories, such as performance or targeting cookies, as well as any changes made to those consent preferences in real-time. Since tracking technologies on a website can change overtime, OneTrust also maintains a consent configuration and archive so customers can demonstrate exactly what website banner and consent configuration settings were shown to the user at the time they provided their consent.
“We continue to rapidly innovate our technology to meet the needs of both our customers and the ongoing evolving expectations of regulators,” said Blake Brannon, VP of Products, OneTrust. “Through this research, we realised the opportunity to add in detailed records of consent into the OneTrust Cookie Consent and Website Scanning solution. This new feature provides both our customers and regulators the information they need to demonstrate consent in compliance with GDPR and ePrivacy.”
