GDPR violations can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. Regulators across the EU have actively fined organizations for deploying tracking cookies without valid consent.
Quick Reference
- GDPR requires consent before setting non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, personalization)
- Essential/strictly necessary cookies (session, security, login) do not require consent
- Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — pre-ticked boxes are invalid
- Users must be able to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it
- Scripts and pixels must not load until the user has actively accepted their category
- Non-essential trackers must stay blocked until consent and after revocation
Check
Check whether the site displays a cookie consent notice before setting non-essential cookies. Verify that analytics, advertising, and tracking scripts do not load until the user has actively accepted. Check whether users can reject non-essential cookies without losing access to content.
