This is essential for compliance with the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive and the CCPA.
This depends on the privacy regulations applicable to your website’s visitors. For example, if your visitors are from the European Union, their privacy is protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive.
