Time for coffee and cookies

Our dynamic cookie bar creates time for the things that really matter

Due to the EU’s ePrivacy Directive, website operators are obliged to inform their users about the storage of user-relevant data. In addition, users must be given the option to choose or opt out of cookies.

In most cases, these cookie prompts have so far been handled in the form of static cookie bars that were displayed when entering the website. However, for these, website operators first had to comb through their website to find out which cookies are actually hidden there. Especially on websites where content is changed more frequently or programming is replaced, this approach is not only extremely time-consuming, but also a risky source of errors. This needed to be simplified.

With the new, dynamic cookie bar, we have now developed an innovative tool that will make these search processes obsolete in the future. The program independently scans the website including all existing subpages and automatically identifies the cookies for whose use the user must give their consent.

What makes the dynamic cookie bar so valuable is the automation of a process that was previously purely manual and therefore prone to errors. Especially on websites that regularly change content or integrate new scripts, the cookie landscape can constantly change - without the operator noticing. syreta’s tool detects these changes independently and keeps the bar up to date.

At a time when data protection authorities are becoming increasingly active and warnings are becoming a reality even for small businesses, this is not an academic topic. Compliance security without permanent manual effort - that is the concrete benefit behind the technically sounding product name.

The paths found are automatically recognized by the program and properly listed in the dynamic cookie bar, where the user must give their consent. The dynamic cookie bar not only guarantees every website operator that their site always complies with EU guidelines, but also brings the advantage of enormous time savings. This leaves more time in the future for other things - making coffee, for example.
