Website Consent Under the DPDP Act (India)
Website consent must be unambiguous, purpose-specific, and withdrawable as easily as it was given—no pre-ticked boxes or dark patterns.
Under DPDP Section 6, website consent must be free, specific, informed, and unambiguous. A cookie banner alone is insufficient when you process personal data beyond cookies—lead forms, analytics, and marketing tags each need lawful basis and notice.
Deploy a CMP that records purpose-level consent, supports Indian languages, and links to your privacy notice. Complynz Consent Management includes web, mobile, and offline QR capture with immutable audit logs.

FAQ
Is a cookie banner enough for DPDP website compliance?
No. DPDP requires consent for processing personal data across purposes—not only cookies. You need granular notices, withdrawal, and records.
