What is cookie auto-blocking?
Auto-blocking is a crucial feature that ensures certain categories of cookies are automatically restricted until the user provides explicit consent. To comply with privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA, this means blocking third-party cookies set by external services, as well as specific first-party cookies from platforms like Google Analytics and Facebook.
By default, auto-blocking prevents websites from setting any cookies beyond those classified as strictly necessary. This is essential because regulations like GDPR mandate that websites must obtain user consent before placing cookies unless they fall under the category of essential cookies required for basic functionality.
Consentise enables websites to seamlessly implement auto-blocking, preventing unauthorized third-party scripts from setting cookies and ensuring full compliance with data privacy regulations.
