What are the main things you should know about the GDPR Cookie Policy
This policy defines and describes the following aspects and guidelines of GDPR:
Scope: This policy covers employees, contractors, vendors, and anyone dealing with EU and EEA data subject information.
Third-Party Cookies: Apart from cookies set by your company, some cookies are set by third parties. It's essential to be aware of these, especially when considering data privacy concerns.
Opt-Out: Users should have the option to refuse or opt-out of non-essential cookies. It's important that you implement a cookie banner like Cookiebot on your website to remain compliant (but you'll learn more about this on your manual evidence tasks).
Cookie Tables: These provide detailed information about the cookies used, their purpose, and their origin. It's essential to keep these tables updated.
