CCPA Privacy FAQs: Does the CCPA require that a company obtain consent from a website user before placing cookies on their browser?

No.

The CCPA does not expressly require that a company obtain consent from a website user before placing cookies on their browser. While consent is not expressly required, in order to mitigate the risk that the use of third party behavioral advertising could be considered a “sale,” many businesses may seek consent from users before deploying third party behavioral advertising cookies.
