A CMP is an important tool for GDPR compliance. But it can and should never replace sound legal advice. Here you'll learn where the limits are.

What a CMP can do

A modern CMP automates many technical aspects of cookie compliance and makes implementation significantly easier.

  • Automatically detect and categorize cookies
  • Display cookie banners and capture user decisions
  • Send consent signals to Google and other services
  • Create audit trails for compliance documentation
  • Provide multi-language support for international websites

What a CMP CANNOT do

There are areas where technical solutions reach their limits and legal expertise is required.

  • Provide individual legal advice for your specific situation
  • Guarantee that your entire website is GDPR compliant
  • Review or create privacy policies or legal notices
  • Assess whether your data processing activities are lawful
  • Serve as a legal basis for your decisions in court

When you need a lawyer

For complex questions about data processing agreements (DPA), risk assessment, creating privacy policies, or if you process personal data on a large scale, you should consult a specialized lawyer.

Use a CMP as a technical tool – but rely on professional advice for legal questions. Biscotti makes the technology easy so you can focus on what matters.
