Calculate the consent renewal date
Consent for processing personal data or setting cookies is not valid forever; regulators expect it to be refreshed periodically so it stays informed and specific. This calculator works out when consent should be renewed from the date it was given and your chosen validity period, commonly twelve months for cookie consent. Consent given on the first of March 2025 with a twelve-month validity should be refreshed by the first of March 2026.
A clear renewal date lets you prompt users to re-consent before the old consent lapses.
Keeping consent valid
Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules, consent must remain a freely given, specific and informed indication of a user wishes, and stale consent can be challenged. Many data protection authorities recommend refreshing cookie consent at least once a year. Tracking a renewal date for each consent record helps you re-prompt users in good time and maintain a lawful basis for processing.
The right validity period depends on the context and local guidance, so adjust it to your needs. All calculation happens locally in your browser.
Important note
Because the consent renewal date calculator runs entirely in your browser, nothing you enter is uploaded, so you can use it with your own details safely. The output is a general template or estimate, not legal advice, so review it carefully and have it checked by a qualified professional before relying on it.
