Ensure your website meets global privacy standards with Consently, a Google-certified CMP that supports GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations while providing verified compliance and certification documentation.
9.1 Compliance Overview Consently helps you comply with major privacy regulations by automating consent collection, documenting visitor choices, and enforcing cookie controls. Understanding which regulations apply to your website ensures you implement the right consent model for your audience.
9.2 GDPR Compliance The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the EU's comprehensive privacy law that requires explicit consent before collecting personal data through cookies. Consently's GDPR template implements opt-in consent, granular cookie controls, and documented consent records to ensure compliance for websites serving European visitors.
9.3 CCPA & US State Laws Compliance California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar US state privacy laws require businesses to disclose data collection practices and provide an opt-out mechanism for data sales. Consently's US State Laws template implements notice-and-opt-out consent, meeting requirements for California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah.
9.4 Certifications Third-party certifications validate that Consently correctly implements consent frameworks used by Google Analytics, Google Ads, and programmatic advertising platforms. These certifications ensure consent signals pass properly from your banner to advertising technologies, maintaining measurement accuracy while respecting visitor privacy choices.
