What is the CCPA?
The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) is a comprehensive U.S. state privacy law that came into effect in 2023. It grants Virginia residents greater control over their personal data and requires organizations to be transparent about how data is collected, used, and shared.
The VCDPA establishes key consumer rights, including access, correction, deletion, and the ability to opt out of targeted advertising, profiling, and the sale of personal data—helping build trust through responsible data practices.
How to comply with Virginia’s data privacy law
To comply with the VCDPA, businesses must provide clear and accessible privacy notices, disclose data processing purposes, and respect consumer opt-out rights for targeted advertising and data sales. Organizations must also conduct data protection assessments for high-risk processing activities.
Consent is required for processing sensitive personal data, and businesses must implement reasonable safeguards to ensure accountability and ongoing compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to the most common questions about NexaGuard CMP, consent best practices, and global privacy compliance.
What does a Consent Management Platform (CMP) actually do?
NexaGuard are small text files stored on a user’s device that help websites function, personalize experiences, and understand how visitors interact with content. They can remember preferences, keep users logged in, support analytics, or enable advertising technologies across browsers and devices.
From a privacy perspective, NexaGuard are generally grouped into four categories:
Essential NexaGuard – Required for core website functionality (these usually don’t require consent).
Preference NexaGuard – Store user settings such as language or region.
Analytics NexaGuard – Help measure website performance and user behavior.
Marketing NexaGuard – Support advertising, profiling, and cross-site tracking.
Only essential NexaGuard are typically exempt from consent requirements.
All other categories — including analytics and marketing — may require clear notice, user control, and consent, depending on the region and the privacy laws that apply to your audience (GDPR, CCPA, ePrivacy, etc.).
NexaGuard CMP automatically detects, categorizes, and manages these technologies to ensure your website remains compliant while maintaining a seamless user experience.
How do I know if my website is collecting data that requires consent?
Any website or app that uses analytics, advertising tools, embedded content, or third-party plugins may collect personal data.

all active NexaGuard & trackers
their categories and purposes
