Although Usercentrics provides its cookie consent solution for both websites and apps, the complementary Usercentrics license available within Termageddon is for websites only. If you have an app in need of a cookie consent solution, we recommend contacting Usercentrics directly.

Some privacy laws require user consent prior to enabling cookies that are not essential to the operation of the website, if they collect users’ personal information, such as IP addresses. To comply with these laws, you may be required to obtain website visitors’ consent prior to the collection of this personal information, and store this information securely. 

Upon purchasing your subscription and answering the Privacy Policy questionnaire, the Termageddon questionnaire will alert you if you should consider adding a cookie consent solution to your website. You will then be able to activate your cookie consent license and add the embed code onto your website.

For example, if your website performs any of the following actions and any of your website visitors reside in the European Union and European Economic Area, you need to obtain these visitors’ consent when they first visit your website:

• processing personal data for purposes like remarketing, content personalization, behavioral advertising, analytics, email marketing
• automated decision-making, e.g. profiling
• transfer of data overseas: mostly applicable to organizations processing EU citizens’ data outside of the EU
• processing special categories of data: such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data

The Usercentrics Consent Management Platform (CMP), which powers the cookie consent solution, detects the outgoing request URLs and maps them to what we call a “service”. For example, we know that a request to the URL “https://www.youtube.com” is a request for the service “YouTube” and will block the request automatically if the user has not given consent for the YouTube service via the CMP.

The same logic applies to many different third-party technologies, like tracking and retargeting scripts.

Yes. After the initial setup is complete, you can always change the categories of your services in your settings in the dashboard. You have the following options:

1. Essential: These services are essential for the site to work. These may be services such as a CDN, shopping cart, or browser language selection.
2. Functional: These services are used to extend the functionality of the site. These may be services such as video or map integration.
3. Marketing: These services are used primarily for marketing and tracking. These may be services such as analytics or retargeting.

You can manually add the service by visiting the Cookie policy and consent tool section within your Termageddon account. Here, you can rescan your website or manually add any services.
