Why is cookie compliance crucial?

Complying with personal data regulations is not only a legal requirement; it is a strategic approach that differentiates your firm in a competitive market. A striking fact: 81% of Internet users express concerns about the use of their personal data. By adopting a clear and compliant cookie policy, you are addressing these concerns and valuing your commitment to privacy.

A rigorous approach from the start of your business not only ensures a better valuation of your firm in the long term but also strengthens your credibility and your online reputation. For certain areas of activity, especially in IP-IT, the personal data you process can be a key element of your value proposition, as long as everything is in order from the start.

At Ourama, we include setting up Finsweet Cookies Consent for all our customers for free. This should be the basis for all website providers, unfortunately, if paid products like Axeptio exist, it is because they are not for everyone.
