- Description
- The wp_consent_essential cookie is used to manage user preferences regarding consent to cookies on the website. It ensures that only technically necessary cookies are set before the user has given explicit consent to other, non-essential cookies (e.g., for marketing or analysis purposes). This helps to comply with data protection regulations and provides transparency to users by ensuring that no unwanted cookies are activated without consent.
Legal basis under GDPR
According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the legal basis for this cookie is generally Article 6(1)(c) or (f) GDPR:
Article 6(1)(c) GDPR: This article relates to the fulfillment of a legal obligation. The processing of user data by this cookie serves to comply with the GDPR, as websites are required to obtain user consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: Here, the legitimate interest of the website operator is cited to manage and document user consent to cookies in order to ensure proper and GDPR-compliant use of the website.
Since the cookie is solely required for the operation and management of consent to cookies, it falls under the category of "technically necessary cookies," which may be set without explicit consent.
