Review cookie lifetime

Access Type: Compliance Report - Viewer or Editor

While data privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) do not have a comprehensive rule regarding the lifetime of a cookie and defer to national data protection authorities to provide specific guidance, a widely adopted guideline is 13 months.

The 13 months guideline is based on recommendations from the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL).

Review the lifetime of cookies dropped on a domain by clicking Compliance Report on the left-hand panel and selecting Details inline with a domain on the subsequent page.

Ensure the Trackers tab is selected and use the provided filters to filter the list by:

Filter	Value(s)
Type	Cookie
Lifetime	Between 12 and 24 months More than 24 months

Note: Didomi will also include any cookies with a lifetime that exceeds 13 months in the Compliance issues tab of the report.

Most of the cookies on table will have a lifetime greater than 13 months. To learn more about which party is initiating the cookie on your domain, click the name of the Initiator inline with the cookie.

The subsequent modal will give your organization information on the vendor such as their privacy policy, all the trackers they dropped on your domain, etc...

Additionally, your organization can download the tracker component of the compliance report to see all of the pages where the Didomi bot discovered a particular cookie.

Once the cookies with lifetimes greater than 13 months are identified, use this information to contact the initiating vendor to ask that the cookie lifetime is reduced or deleted.
