Our cookie banner half-works, or loads scripts before consent.
A cookie banner is only worth something if it actually blocks scripts until consent. A pretty banner without a script blocker is fake compliance.
Try this first
- 1List every script: analytics, marketing pixels, chat, embedded video, maps. Tag each as functional, statistics, marketing or social.
- 2Pick a banner tool that actually blocks: Cookiebot, CookieFirst, Complianz or a custom solution using data attributes. Banners that only 'inform' aren't enough.
- 3Configure categories correctly: only functional defaults to on. Statistics and marketing only after explicit opt-in. No pre-checked boxes.
- 4Test in incognito with devtools open: before clicking, no request should fire to Google Analytics, Meta or TikTok. Only to functional endpoints like your own API.
- 5Log evidence of consent (timestamp, categories chosen, IP hash). On complaint, you must show the user said yes.
- 6Document the banner in your GDPR register and check every six months for new scripts that snuck in unblocked.
When to bring us in
If you operate in healthcare or government, or run tracking-heavy marketing, a GDPR lawyer should review the banner and cookie policy before the regulator does.
