Easy preference controls
Give visitors an accessible way to review and change their choices from a privacy or preferences control.
Care with children's data
Under-18sApply enhanced protections when you knowingly collect children's information.
Keep it accountable
Record opt-out status and timestamps so you can show visitors were given notice and a real choice.

“CookieChimp's intuitive UI made the integration process a breeze and far easier than we've experienced with other platforms. The platform provides valuable insights into user consent, making it our top choice for cookie management.”
“I love the developer experience with CookieChimp — it was very straightforward to set up, and the scan tools help you implement it correctly. The regional banners were exactly what I was looking for, letting me choose different banner types for each region, so some places can opt in and others opt out by default. The platform integrated right into our full stack, making it a great fit for our needs.”
“The CookieChimp team has been very helpful in getting us set up and ensuring that we are following the best practice. They've helped us to achieve what we needed, and respond quickly and thoughtfully. I've used a couple of other platforms and CookieChimp is by far the most intuitive platform I've used.”
“Great product with equally great support. Dan from support has been so helpful throughout the implementation, even helping with areas which are not necessarily within his support remit. Highly recommended product and company!”
“Outstanding, such great customer service. Dan looked into, debugged and solved my problems with the plugin.”
“I have to say I've tried several cookie bar solutions before, and CookieChimp is the first one that actually let me set everything up correctly.”
“Setting up the cookie banner was really easy. I didn't have to do it alone, the CookieChimp team helped me through the whole process. They also explained the technical setup and showed me how I could use it on my website and later on a mobile app.”
“Very easy and uncomplicated setup on Next.js compared to other cookie banners like Usercentrics. Works great and pricing is very affordable.”
“The CookieChimp platform is easy to use and the customer service support has always been tremendously helpful and prompt in helping me understand the ever-changing landscape of legal requirements and keeping our site compliant. I really appreciate their expertise.”
“CookieChimp has been incredibly useful for our company. It's exactly the tool we were looking for: easy to install and works perfectly. We've been using it for two months without any issues. Their development team is also excellent, responding quickly with helpful answers whenever we need support. The documentation is excellent too: clear, concise, and with just the right amount of information, without overwhelming you with unnecessary content.”
Australia FAQ
Australian cookie consent questions
Does Australia require a cookie consent banner?
There's no dedicated cookie law in Australia. The Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles take a transparency and opt-out approach: give clear notice of what you collect and why, and let visitors opt out. A banner is the practical way to do that.
Do I need opt-in consent for analytics or advertising cookies?
Generally no. For everyday, non-sensitive tracking, notice and the ability to opt out is enough under the Privacy Act — prior opt-in isn't required the way it is in the EU or UK.
When is explicit consent required?
When cookies or tracking collect sensitive information — such as health data — the Australian Privacy Principles require clear, explicit consent. Use an opt-in banner and minimise trackers in those contexts.
Are cookie walls allowed in Australia?
They're discouraged. Making access conditional on accepting tracking undercuts the genuine choice the Privacy Act expects. Give visitors a real opt-out instead of forcing acceptance.
What about children's data?
The Privacy Act expects enhanced protections when you knowingly collect children's information. Apply stricter defaults and be cautious with third-party tracking on services aimed at children.
Is the Australian approach changing?
Australia has been reforming its privacy regime, and expectations are tightening over time. CookieChimp lets you run notice-and-opt-out today and move specific contexts to opt-in as your requirements — or the law — change.
