Overview
BigID’s Cookie Consent solution provides a powerful and flexible platform to manage cookie compliance across all company websites. Designed to meet global privacy regulations, it enables organizations to deploy fully customizable, localized, and geolocation-aware banners that adapt to each visitor's region and privacy requirements, with precision down to the country or even state level, including specific U.S. state laws.
The solution is certified by both Google and the IAB, ensuring seamless integration with frameworks like Google Consent Mode v2, Global Privacy Control (GPC), and IAB TCF v2.2. It includes a proprietary cookie library, automatic tracker classification, and a visual banner builder that allows non-technical users to configure banner appearance, behavior, and consent models without writing code.
BigID’s web tracker scanner identifies not only first-party cookies, but also third-party cookies, beacons, pixels, and tracking scripts across all pages and subdomains. Banners can be deployed manually, via custom plugins, or through tag managers like Google Tag Manager, Adobe Launch, and Tealium. The platform also supports cross-domain and cross-device consent sharing to ensure a consistent user experience.
Consent logs are stored in a secure, privacy-by-design environment, with dashboards that track opt-in rates, banner performance, and regulatory compliance. Whether managing a single site or a global web presence, BigID’s solution scales with enterprise needs, delivering speed, transparency, and complete control through a single, easy-to-manage platform.
Use Case Scenario
A global fashion retailer with 50+ websites needed to comply with GDPR, LGPD, Law 25 and U.S. state laws like California and Virginia. Their existing cookie banner couldn’t adapt by region or detect all trackers, and updates required developer time.
With BigID’s Cookie Consent Platform, they:
Deployed geolocation-based banners tailored by country and U.S. state
Detected cookies, pixels, beacons, and scripts
Used the no-code builder to launch banners in minutes, without technical help
Enabled cross-domain and cross-device consent
Integrated with Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF v2.2
Within a week, the retailer was fully compliant across all sites. Consent rates increases, and legal teams gained visibility and control through a centralized dashboard.
Cookies and Trackers table
The Cookies and Trackers table shows you all of the domains that you’ve added to BigID, if they’re a Production or Test environment, if the trackers (cookies, beacons, pixels and scripts) have been classified and if the banner has been integrated to the site. You can also see the last date and time that each domain was scanned.
Use the filters to reduce the number of entries in the table, based on whether the domain is actively integrated and on whether it’s a Production or Test environment. You can also search by domain to find the exact domain you want to investigate.
Click a domain to open its dashboard.
There are 5 main steps to start with cookies:
Add a domain to scan for trackers (cookies, beacons, pixels and scripts)
Complete the classification of detected trackers.
Customize your cookie banners.
Configure geolocation settings to support multi-regulation compliance.
Integrate the banner into your website.
Add a domain to scan
Add a new domain from the + New Domain button at the top-right hand side of the page:
Enter the URL to scan.
Tip
For best scanning results, and to prevent errors, don’t include the “http://” or “www” parts of the URL.
For example, instead of:
http://www.example.com, enterexample.comSelect whether the URL is a Production or Test environment.
When you click Save, BigID automatically scans the URL.
Cookie and Trackers dashboard
Overview tab
When you click a domain on the Cookies and Trackers table, its dashboard appears (Overview tab). The dashboard visualizes Cookie Consent Data for the selected domain, enabling you to see the consent rate per date and also per type of banner. The data on the dashboard is valuable for monitoring cookie consent trends, evaluating banner performance, gaining insights into user preferences, identifying anomalies and potential issues, tracking compliance, and enabling data-driven decisions related to cookie consent management.
The bar chart displays the consent rate over a selected time period, differentiating between "Opt-In" (likely full consent) represented by green bars and "Partial Opt-In" represented by yellow bars. Using the date picker tat the top, you can customize the time frame to be:
Last week: day-by-day breakdown
Last Month: day-by-day breakdown
Custom date range - up to 1 month: day-by-day breakdown
Custom date range - more than 1 month, up to 6 months: week-by-week breakdown
Custom date range - more than 6 months: month-by-month breakdown
To the right of the chart, a numerical "Acceptance Rate" summarizes the values of the chart.
The sidebar on the right shows sections for "Scanner" and "Banner Integration Center," which are tools for managing cookie scanning and banner implementation:
Expand the Scanner section to see when the selected domain was last scanned and the trackers associated with it. If the scanner requires classification, click Go Classify, which opens the Scanner tab.
