ATLANTA, March 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OneTrust, the
leading enterprise privacy management software solution used by
over 1,000 organizations to comply with global privacy regulations,
together with IAPP, the world's largest association of privacy
professionals, announces the launch of its Cookie Compliance
tool.
Free for IAPP members, the Cookie Compliance tool is an online
platform that helps organizations assess their compliance with EU
cookie laws as outlined in the new EU ePrivacy Directive. The
online tool allows organizations to begin their website's
compliance checklist using the following steps:
- Scan your primary website and all sub-pages for cookies, tags,
forms, and policies
- View results of your website scan in the centralized
dashboard
- Customize the cookie banner, and get a live preview of what it
will look like on your website
- Create a custom, dynamically updated cookie policy based on the
results of your scans
- Give visitors control over the different types of cookies set
by your site in the customizable Visitor Preferences Center
"With the new consent obligations in GDPR, as well as the new
ePrivacy regulation proposed in the EU, organizations around the
world face an increasingly risky and uncertain environment when it
comes to electronic privacy and website compliance," said IAPP
President and CEO J. Trevor Hughes, CIPP. "They need
technology-based automation tools like the new IAPP-OneTrust
Website Scanning & Cookie Compliance tool to help them identify
gaps and create organizational awareness. Built as an integrated
module of the existing IAPP and OneTrust suite of products, this
new tool is a great example of the value of integrated and
comprehensive offerings to IAPP members."
The Cookie Compliance tool is integrated into the existing
comprehensive platform that the IAPP and OneTrust offer to members
at no cost. By registering for the new Cookie Compliance tool, IAPP
members get access to the full suite of IAPP and OneTrust products.
The suite of free tools offered by the IAPP and OneTrust for
Privacy Professionals now includes:
- Comprehensive PIA Platform (launched September 2016)
- EU Data Transfer Kit for GDPR, BCR, and Privacy Shield
Readiness (launched November
2016)
- U.S. Federal Agency PTA and PIA Templates (launched in
December 2016)
- Website Scanning and Cookie Compliance (launched March 2017)
"The technology that the new IAPP and OneTrust Website Scanning
and Cookie Compliance tool is built on is one of the first ever
cookie compliance solutions on the market after the ePrivacy
directive came into force," said OneTrust Product
Manager Richard Beaumont. "It is one of the most proven
ePrivacy compliance technologies on the market, used on thousands
of websites with millions of impressions. With the volatility of
the new drafted ePrivacy regulation, the aggressive implementation
timelines proposed in the regulation, and the potential dramatic
fines of 4% global turnover, it is more important now than ever
that the global privacy community have access to free tools to help
prepare and educate their internal teams. I am pleased to make this
sophisticated and mature technology solution available to IAPP
members at no cost for their primary website."
OneTrust recently hosted a live webinar and published a detailed
white paper about The Future of EU Cookie Compliance. Click here to

more software-based solutions for their members through OneTrust
than any other provider, and OneTrust and IAPP are continuously
releasing new products and templates for IAPP members. It's this
