Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Cookie Policy required under CCPA?

A Cookie Policy is best practice for CCPA, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For SaaS / Software businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.

What cookies does a SaaS / Software website typically use?

A typical SaaS / Software website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.

Do I need a cookie consent banner if I have a Cookie Policy?

Under CCPA, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
