Frequently Asked Questions
What regulations does this cover?
The calculator covers implementation costs for GDPR (EU), ePrivacy Directive, CCPA (California), LGPD (Brazil), and other major privacy regulations requiring cookie consent.
Do I need a consent management platform?
For most businesses, a CMP is recommended for proper consent recording and preference management. The calculator includes options for both CMP subscriptions and custom implementations.
What about ongoing costs?
Cookie compliance requires ongoing management including consent record storage, regular cookie audits, and policy updates. The calculator includes both initial implementation and recurring costs.
Can this be customized for different website sizes?
Yes. The calculator accounts for website complexity, number of domains, traffic volume, and the number of third-party cookies/scripts requiring consent.
Is technical implementation included?
The calculator includes costs for technical setup, integration with your website platform, and proper consent signal implementation (TCF, GPP, etc.).
