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 Tracker and Vendor Discovery 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

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

View the lifetime of the cookie by selecting the tracker name for the individual cookie.

The subsequent modal will give your organization information about the tracker including which vendor dropped it, exemptions, etc...

Navigate to the Cookie Information section of the modal to review the lifetime of the cookie.

Additionally, your organization can download the tracker component of the tracker and vendor discovery 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.
