Why No Tool Replaces a Lawyer
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 β but rely on professional advice for legal questions. Biscotti makes the technology easy so you can focus on what matters.
