Hey everyone, it’s your old buddy back again, and today I wanna talk about something that’s been bugging me a lot lately – cookie banners. Specifically, do you really need them on your funnels? I’ve been digging into this, and here’s my take from the trenches.
So, first off, I started by looking into what the big deal is with these cookie banners. I mean, every site has them, right? Turns out, it’s all about laws like GDPR and CCPA. These laws are all about protecting people’s data online. If your website is grabbing data from folks in places like the EU or the UK, you gotta let them know, and you gotta get their okay before you do anything with their data. That’s where these banners come in.
Now, I run a bunch of different funnels for my business, and I was like, “Do I really need to slap a cookie banner on each one?” I started to do some digging to figure this out. I went through each of my funnels and checked what kind of cookies I was using. Most of them were just your basic stuff, like Google Analytics, to see how people were using my site. I then tried to check whether the visitors were from the EU or UK and I found that actually a lot of them were from there.
After I realized that I do have visitors from those areas, I decided to look into how to actually set these banners up. There’s a ton of tools out there, but I wanted something simple. I found this video tutorial online that walked me through the whole process, step-by-step. It was pretty easy, to be honest. You just pick a tool, customize the banner to match your site, and then add a bit of code to your pages.
- Checked if I needed a banner: Yup, I did, because I get visitors from the EU and UK.
- Looked into how to do it: Found some tools and a helpful video.
- Set it up: Picked a tool, customized it, and added the code to my site.
So, after all that, did I really need a cookie banner on my funnels? The short answer is yes. It’s not just about following the law; it’s also about being upfront with your visitors. People appreciate honesty, and being clear about what data you’re collecting and why goes a long way. Plus, it’s really not that hard to set up. So if you’re on the fence about it, I’d say just go for it. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and it shows you care about your visitors’ privacy.
That’s my two cents on the whole cookie banner thing. Hope this helps some of you out there! Catch you in the next post!
