Some cookies perform essential functions for the operation of a website, like remembering which products you selected for purchase and placed into your shopping cart.  If those “essential” cookies are placed by a business directly (e.g., first-party essential cookies) the CCPA does not require that a business provide consumers the ability to turn them off.  If those essential cookies are placed by a third party on behalf of a business, so long as the third party is considered a “service provider” under the CCPA (i.e., the contract with the third party has use, disclosure and retention prohibitions), the CCPA also does not require that a business provide consumers the ability to turn them off.  The net result is that under the CCPA, businesses typically do not have to give consumers control over essential cookies.
