Easy GDPR checklist to manage consent for GDPR compliance

Don't risk fines or your users' trust: compliant data is a critical business resource

Responsibly collecting and using personal data collected online is not just a legal requirement for companies in the European Union. It is critical to building user relationships across online platforms. To build trust, companies need to be clear with consumers about how they use data and obtain consent in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Beyond the legal requirements, there are best practices for how to inform users and obtain consent that enhance your company’s branding and help boost consent rates.

We have created this checklist for you to clearly outline companies’ responsibilities and users’ rights under the GDPR. Save time, create great user experience, and take concrete steps to achieve compliance. Learn about:

• if your company needs to comply with the GDPR
• what information your cookie banner and privacy policy need to contain
• how to obtain and store valid consent
• what cookie banner design elements are both user-friendly and compliant
• and more!

Enforcement of the GDPR by various data protection authorities (DPA) is increasing and expanding worldwide.

Since 2018, the GDPR has been influential on data privacy legislation passed in other countries, like Brazil and the United States, and on legislation still in progress. It will continue to evolve as the legal landscape and technologies change.

User data, like that collected from the use of cookies, is critical to marketing operations and revenue goals. User trust is also critical to obtaining consent, increasing engagement, and boosting revenue long-term.

Privacy compliance is necessary to avoid the risk of fines, data loss, and damage to brand reputation. It’s also a competitive advantage that helps build user trust, develop higher engagement long term, and boost revenue.

This checklist provides key steps and best practices to help bring your data protection and marketing strategy into alignment with the GDPR.
