You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our website.— Excerpt from Checkout.com's Checkout.com Privacy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Cookie and tracking technology use engages the EU ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in member state law, commonly the Cookie Law), UK PECR, and GDPR consent requirements for non-essential cookies. The ICO has enforcement authority in the UK; national data protection authorities enforce in EU member states. The document's deployment of OneTrust as a consent management platform indicates awareness of these requirements, though compliance depends on implementation quality. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Cookie consent implementation is a frequently audited area by EU/UK regulators. The presence of a CMP (OneTrust) is a positive indicator, but compliance depends on whether consent is obtained before non-essential cookies fire, whether consent is granular, and whether withdrawal of consent is as easy as giving it. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have the strongest protections requiring prior informed consent for non-essential cookies. California users have CCPA/CPRA rights regarding sale and sharing of personal information collected via tracking technologies. The policy notes users can manage preferences, which should be confirmed in the live implementation. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Merchants embedding Checkout.com payment components in their own websites should assess whether Checkout.com's cookies fire in their checkout environments and whether their own cookie notices adequately disclose this. Third-party analytics tools referenced in the policy (including Google Tag Manager, noted in the page source) should be included in vendor assessments. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Cookie audit and consent implementation should be reviewed periodically, particularly following any website changes. The OneTrust implementation should be verified to ensure non-essential cookies do not fire prior to user consent. Records of consent should be maintained as required under GDPR.
