Cookie banner per region

We set up a cookie consent banner that accounts for the region's rules: somewhere an explicit consent choice is needed (as in the EU), somewhere a notice is enough. So that the banner shows differently depending on the visitor's country and technically collects consent. Honestly upfront and plainly: this is the TECHNICAL setup of the banner, NOT legal compliance. What exactly is required by law (GDPR/ePrivacy/local rules) and how it should work is determined by a LAWYER; the banner alone does not make you 'legally compliant'.

Cookie banner per region — overview

Cookie banner per region — price, timeline & scope

A cookie banner per region is the technical setup of a consent banner that behaves differently depending on the visitor's country: in strict regions (EU, etc.) — an explicit choice (accept/reject/configure) BEFORE optional scripts load, in others — a notice; plus storing the fact of consent and accounting for it. We can set up blocking of analytics/marketing scripts before consent and recording of consents. Honestly about the main boundary, this is critical: we do the TECHNICAL part, but do NOT determine and do NOT guarantee legal compliance. What is required by law in each region (GDPR, ePrivacy, local rules: whether refusal must be as easy as consent; which categories; how to store consent evidence) is a LAWYER's area. The banner alone does NOT make the site 'compliant': compliance is a combination of correct legal framing + correct technical implementation + actual site behavior (scripts really do not load before consent). We cover the technical part per the spec from you/a lawyer. Honestly about the 'checkbox': a banner 'just to have one' without real script blocking before consent is the appearance of compliance, not compliance; we will honestly say if that is your case. Honestly about the effect: a correct banner reduces legal and reputational risk (on the technical side), but it is not a selling feature. Honestly about maintenance: when new scripts/services are added, the banner and blocking must be updated — this is a separate paid task, not lifetime free edits within the start. Honestly about 'do you need this': if you operate only in regions without strict cookie-consent requirements — a banner with an explicit choice may be excessive (a notice is enough); we will say honestly if that is the case. Honestly about access: access to the site and a list of used scripts are needed. An important boundary: this is the cookie banner (technical), while translation of legal documents is 794; the legal content is a lawyer's. Picture this: instead of 'one banner for all or none at all' — region-specific behavior and real consent collection, technically correct. The base price starts from 12,000 ₽ (depends on the number of regions and scripts).

FAQ

  • After the banner, are we GDPR and law compliant?

    Not automatically, and this is important to be honest about. The banner is a technical implementation. Legal compliance is a combination: correct legal framing (what is required in the region — determined by a lawyer) + correct technical part + actual site behavior. The banner alone does not make you 'compliant'. We cover the technical part per the spec, while a lawyer confirms the legal side.

  • Can we just put up a banner 'to have one'?

    You can, but honestly: a banner without real blocking of optional scripts before consent is the appearance of compliance, not compliance (the scripts have already run). If the region requires it, a 'checkbox' does not protect you. We will say plainly if that is your current situation and propose doing it right.

  • Who decides what should be in the banner?

    The legal requirements (which categories, whether refusal must be as easy as consent, how to store evidence) are determined by a lawyer for the needed regions. We implement this technically per the spec. This is more honest: we are not lawyers and do not pass off a technical setup as a legal guarantee.
