About CookieFirst
CookieFirst is a Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to help website owners comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, and Quebec's Law 25. The platform automates the process of identifying cookies through periodic scans and generating a compliant cookie policy. It provides highly customizable banners that offer granular opt-in options for users, ensuring that third-party tracking scripts are only loaded after explicit consent is obtained. The service is platform-agnostic, offering integrations for major CMS platforms like WordPress, Shopify, Joomla, and Magento. It notably supports advanced technical compliance features like Google Consent Mode v2 and the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF 2.2). CookieFirst also offers specific features for agencies and resellers, including white-labeling options for both the banner and the management panel. All consents are logged in an anonymous and encrypted database to provide an audit trail for compliance verification.
