Civic Cookie Control is a JavaScript module that can help make a website compliant with EU cookie legislation; and specifically since version 8 with the General Data Protection Regulation's (GDPR) guidelines on the use of cookies.

The GDPR has a global reach, meaning all EU states and sites receiving EU visitors should seek user consent with an explicit opt in. With this in mind, Cookie Control has been redesigned to run by default in what was previously known as "explicit mode".

Since version 9 we have also added support for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). When using Cookie Control in CCPA mode, all cookie purposes will be enabled by default and users will see a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" button giving them the option to opt out of the use cookies. Please note that this mode is incompatible with IAB TCF's v2.0 which requires the mode to be GDPR.
