The story behind
Cookie Information

We are a Privacy Tech company specialized in developing Consent Solutions. We help your website comply with current privacy regulations and frameworks.

How we got started

In 2008 the founder of Cookie Information Karsten Rendemann completed empirical studies at Harvard University about how personal data of visitors to websites is collected by plug-ins installed on the websites – and subsequently sold and used for profiling, price discrimination, and advertising. The studies led Karsten to the conclusion that companies would invest less in the development of websites and other digital services if they knew how their customers personal data was collected without them knowing it.

Being the first person in Denmark to advocate the need for proper consent management platforms to avoid mistrust in digital services, Karsten founded what is now Cookie Information in 2011. Since then, Cookie Information has worked for public and private sector organizations globally to provide them with a proper Consent Solution.

It let him to the conclusion that ordinary people would use websites and digital services less if they do not have trust in the data transfers that happen.

Our mission

Cookie Information’s mission is to help organizations specify and operate a professional CMP that makes them compliant with the privacy laws of the countries they operate in. At the same time enabling their commercial data strategy and even data ethical objectives in a way that builds their business.
