Borlabs Cookie Banner Alternative

Cookie consent and its legal status

• In principle, the use and processing of cookies requires the express and voluntary consent of the visitor. The only exceptions to this are the technically essential cookies, without which it would not be possible to operate the site. The requirement for explicit consent results from the 2019 ECJ ruling on cookies at the latest. The practical implementation of such an express consent takes place via a double opt-in option. This means that your users are given the opportunity to consent to the use and processing of cookies when they visit the website or the online shop. A Borlabs Cookie Alternative cookie banner gives you the option of agreeing to or rejecting the use of cookies. The banner offers several options for deciding on the type and scope of the cookies. This type of consent to the use of cookies is also known as cookie consent. Some sites, platforms and marketplaces already offer various tools for cookie consent management ex works. In principle, however, you as the website operator are obliged to ensure the necessary GDPR-compliant consent management . You can find a comfortable Borlabs cookie alternative with the consent manager.

• This special alternative to Borlabs Cookie comes from Consentmanager as a specialized CMP (Consent Management Provider) and contributes to the fact that your visitors are asked for their consent to the type and scope of cookie processing every time they visit your website. It is important that the first technically non-essential cookie may only be set if explicit consent has been given via Borlabs cookie or an alternative. Therefore, as the website operator, you should ensure that the collection and processing of tracking cookies only begins after you have given your consent. The only exceptions to this are the technically required cookies, which may continue to be collected by the alternative to Borlabs Cookie without explicit cookie consent.

Cookie consent standards and how they work

• There is a framework from the IAB Europe (interactive advertising bureau industry association) for approval of the type and scope of the processing of cookies. This framework is known as the Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) and is established as a comprehensive standard for the work of consent management systems.

  This framework is also the basis of the Borlabs Cookie Alternative of the Consent Manager. The framework was first developed in 2018 by the industry association Interactive Advertising Bureau. The development goal was the greatest possible standardization in obtaining cookie consent from users. The TCF 2.0 version has been available since May 2020. The framework aims to provide precise information about the type and scope of visitor consent to the use of cookies based on the entire delivery chain. This is important in practice, since a large number of advertisers and other service providers are generally involved in displaying online advertising banners.

• In a first step, a cookie consent manager based on the IAB framework determines whether users have given any form of consent to the collection and processing of cookies. The Borlabs Cookie Alternative then determines which processing purposes the users have specifically and individually agreed to. Based on this information, the Borlabs Cookie Alternative from Consentmanager generates a so-called consent string. The task of the consent string is to enable others to read the user’s degree of consent. The consent string is also created in a cookie. The alternative to Borlabs Cookie also offers other consent management providers an opportunity to gain insight into a user’s consent.

  Almost every (not purely private) website and almost every online shop collects data in the form of cookies, which, according to the GDPR and the ECJ ruling, require the express consent of the user. The requirement arises from the use of any analysis tool. A popular tool that works with such tracking cookies is Google Analytics. Even if you use widgets on social media, this is already such a form of data collection. Therefore, almost every website operator who addresses customers in the European Union via their own website relies on a solution such as Borlabs Cookie or an alternative.
