Does your website show the same cookie banner to every visitor? If it does, you are likely doing two things at once: over-asking people in relaxed regions and falling short in strict ones. Geo-targeted cookie banners fix that by matching the notice to the visitor's location.

In 2021 the Dutch privacy watchdog fined TikTok because it showed its privacy notice only in English to Dutch users. The message was simple: people must understand what they say yes to. How a multi-language banner works The banner finds the visitor's language in one of...
