Regions and geo-targeting

CookieHub allows you to customize consent behavior and the user interface based on a visitor’s location. This feature, called Regions, helps you comply with different privacy laws by applying rules that match local requirements.

Regions can be a country, a US state, or a predefined group of countries. You can configure frameworks, consent types, and layouts for each region in the CookieHub dashboard.

Why use regions

Using regions ensures users see the correct consent dialog for their location. For example, you can require explicit consent in the EU and use an opt-out model where it is legally allowed.

Predefined regions

CookieHub provides predefined region groups for quick setup.

Europe

Includes all EU and EEA member states, the UK, and Switzerland. These countries generally require explicit consent under GDPR or equivalent laws.

US states

Includes all states with active privacy laws requiring cookie notices and opt-out controls.

Other countries (opt-in)

Countries where privacy laws require explicit consent.

Other countries (opt-out)

Countries where a cookie notice is required and opt-out may be allowed.

When requirements are unclear, we recommend using explicit consent globally.

Legacy regions

Older region groups are being deprecated and should be updated to the new regional structure.
