BakerHostetler’s Digital Assets and Data Management Group has launched SmartCookies™ Cookie Classification Service, a solution to help businesses monitor and manage the cookies in use on their websites. Utilizing a proprietary database and a streamlined process, the service can identify and analyze the cookies on a business’s website and provide reliable answers on how they should be classified.
A SmartCookies report will determine:
- What cookies are on a website
- If a cookie vendor is classified as a service provider or a processor under state law
- Whether the use of each cookie requires an opt-out
- How to sort each cookie according to the function-based categories used by many cookie consent tools
- Where to find cookie vendors’ data processing terms to maintain copies for records
