Welcome to another episode of GDPR now. We are going to be talking about cookies. This is part two of a cookie two-parter and this is the episode in which we're looking at the specific cookie management software which will be reviewing very shortly. In the studio with me, I have Karen Heaton of Data Protection for Business.

Hi, Mark.

Thank you for inviting me.

Welcome back.

Do you want to tell us a bit about what you do in your business?

Thank you.

Yes.

I set up a data protection consultancy for small and medium-sized organisations a couple of years ago

data challenges the organisations have. So I'm very pleased to be here today. Thank you.

First of all, Cookie Control, which is produced by Civic UK, based in Edinburgh, then Cookie

Pro, which is produced by One Trust, which is dual headquartered in, I think, Atlanta, Georgia and London, UK, and then Cookie Bot, which comes out of Denmark.

And those are the three items of software we've been looking at. We're going to give a bit more information about the companies in a minute.

But I think just now, it's probably worth talking about how we went about reviewing the three different elements of software.

Maybe Karen, you could just address that.

Yes. So how we approached this exercise, I have to say it was a bit more work than we originally

expected. But what we basically looked at in scope was obviously the company overview.

We looked at the ease of implementation.

We focused on WordPress because we have websites running on WordPress.
