What the LGPD requires
- Have a lawful basis for each cookie that collects personal data. For most non-essential cookies, such as advertising cookies, this is consent that is free, informed and unambiguous and given for a specific purpose.
- Give people clear, easy-to-find information on the purpose and duration of processing, who you share data with and their rights. The ANPD advises against giving cookie information only in a foreign language.
- Let data subjects access, correct, delete and port their data.
- Appoint a data protection officer (encarregado) and publish their identity and contact details. Some small businesses may offer a contact channel instead.
- Notify the ANPD and the people affected within three working days of learning of a security incident that may cause them significant risk or harm.
- Keep a record of consents and processing activities you can show on request.
How GrantCookie covers it
- Scheduled scans. The scanner finds the cookies and trackers your site sets, sorts them into categories and re-checks on every scheduled scan, so the banner asks about what is really there.
- Provable records. Every choice is timestamped and stored with the banner version the visitor saw. Paid plans include consent log export.
- Withdrawing consent. A re-open control stays on every page, so visitors can withdraw or change their choice at any time.
