Cookie Consent Log

After updating Sitely to v6 I modified my website to accommodate the changes to the cookie consent banner. Somewhere on the forum or Sitely help pages a cookie consent log was mentioned and a bit of research indicated this is required for compliance with most cookie consent legislation.

Does the banner function generate the log file on the website and if so where is it stored on the web server? Or is it a function of the website hosting?

Hello @Rossy,

there’s no log generated. Consent makes sense for when you identify someone, but in the case of a static website the visitors are fully anonymous.

The exception is password protection, where you create password protected pages, and send someone you know a login and password. In that case the consent is still not logged, so you need to arrange something with the person in question. Kind of an edge case in a grey area, this will be solved at some point.
