Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide

Key Provisions of the Montana CDPA

The Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA) is a comprehensive state privacy law scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2025. It grants Montana residents new rights over their personal data and establishes clear responsibilities for controllers and processors.

Under the MCDPA, consumers have the right to confirm, access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of their personal data. They also have the right to opt out of the processing of personal data for targeted advertising, the sale of data, or profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. The law mandates data protection assessments for processing activities that present a heightened risk to consumers.

Essential Steps for MCDPA Readiness

To prepare for the MCDPA, businesses must update privacy notices with specific disclosures, establish secure mechanisms for consumers to exercise their rights (including recognizing universal opt-out signals), and conduct the required data protection assessments for high-risk processing.

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.

  • 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.

Any website or app that uses analytics, advertising tools, embedded content, or third-party plugins may collect personal data.

  • whether consent is required
