Requirements for Using Cookies on a Website in Minnesota

If you want to use cookies on your website in Minnesota, you must comply with state and federal laws. The Minnesota Personal Information Protection Act (MPIPA) requires businesses to provide notice to users about the collection, use, and sharing of their personal information, including through the use of cookies. Additionally, the federal law, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), requires websites to obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under the age of 13.

To comply with MPIPA, you must provide a clear and conspicuous notice on your website that describes the types of personal information you collect, how you use it, and with whom you share it. You must also provide information about how users can opt-out of the collection and use of their personal information. If you collect personal information from children under the age of 13, you must comply with COPPA and obtain parental consent before collecting their personal information.
