How do I configure AVG-compliant cookie consent in Magento?

AVG is the Dutch implementation of GDPR, and the Dutch Telecommunicatiewet (Telecomwet) + ePrivacy rules require explicit opt-in for any non-essential cookie — no “by using this site you accept” banners, no pre-ticked boxes. We install Cookiebot, OneTrust, or a Magento-native consent manager (Mageplaza GDPR / Amasty), configure it to: (a) block GTM, Hotjar, marketing pixels and chat widgets before consent, (b) categorise cookies as essential / functional / analytics / marketing, (c) honour withdrawal of consent without re-asking immediately, and (d) log consent records (timestamp, IP, scope) for the 24-month Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) audit window. We also wire DSAR request flows to your support inbox.
