Development of a Dynamic Cookie Consent Management System for Improved Data Privacy Compliance

The client faces difficulties ensuring transparent user consent for cookies and data processing, which risks non-compliance with privacy regulations and impacts user trust. The current system lacks a flexible mechanism for users to review and revoke consent for various data processing purposes, such as content integration, personalized advertising, social media, and analytics.

It will increase user trust and engagement through transparent privacy controls, while providing measurable data on user preferences and consent behaviors. Ultimately, this will support the company's reputation and enable more targeted and compliant marketing strategies.
