Hi! I noticed that consent banner started to fire for our users from non-GDPR countries (most of the US states). Also, I saw this message in the change log:

Question to PIWIK: is it a temporary change or it will work like this from now on? Is it driven by some regulatory changes you are foreseeing?

Question to the community: Which 3-rd party consent management app would you recommend?

Thank you!

Hi @abbenay1 ,

This is not a temporary change. From now on, this is how it will work.

Some third-party tools allow you to modify the consent form content based on location, but this does not necessarily affect whether the consent banner is displayed.

[Cookie Information](https://cookieinformation.com/) does not have this functionality, but a custom implementation should allow for a similar effect (you can try a custom implementation in Piwik PRO as well). The integration of both products is seamless.

If you are an enterprise client, please let me know in a private message. I will pass the information to your account manager, who will assist you with the next steps.
