Is your website’s cookie banner set up correctly?
Cookie compliance is more than just a banner. Under GDPR and UK data laws, your consent mechanism must perform specific technical tasks such as classifying and blocking cookies unless consent is clearly given.
| ✅ What a Compliant System MUST Do | ❌ Common Mistakes That Are NOT Compliant |
| ✅ Block First, Ask Later: Actively block all non-essential cookies before a visitor gives consent. | ❌ “Implied Consent”: Banners stating “By using this site, you accept cookies” are not compliant. |
| ✅ Offer Clear, Equal Choice: Provide clear ‘Accept’ and ‘Reject’ buttons of equal prominence. | ❌ No ‘Reject’ Option: Not offering a clear way to refuse consent is a violation. |
| ✅ Provide Granular Control: Allow users to consent to specific cookie categories. | ❌ Pre-ticked Boxes: Consent checkboxes must be unticked by default. |
| ✅ Be Easy to Revisit & Withdraw: Give users an easy way to change their consent settings at any time. | ❌ Cookie Walls: Forcing users to accept cookies to access your website is generally not valid consent. |
A Note for Small Businesses:
A common myth is that these rules do not apply to smaller websites. Under GDPR and UK law, there are no exceptions for small businesses regarding cookie consent. If your site is accessible in the EU and UK, these rules apply to you.
Why a ‘compliant’ banner can silently break
You can have a perfectly configured cookie banner one day, and a non-compliant one the next. The digital ecosystem is constantly evolving, and your website’s compliance is fragile. Common causes of failure include:
Changes in Privacy Law & Ad Platforms
Last year’s compliant banner may not meet new legal requirements, like the recent mandate for Google Consent Mode v2 for anyone using Google Ads.
Routine Plugin & Theme Updates
A simple update to another plugin (like a slider or social media feed) can introduce new, unclassified cookies that your banner doesn’t know how to handle.
New Marketing Scripts
Your marketing team might add a new tracking pixel for a campaign. If it’s not correctly integrated, it can start firing cookies before consent is given.
Aggressive Caching
Caching systems designed to speed up your site can cause the consent script to load incorrectly and fail to block cookies as it should.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a simple cookie banner, isn’t that enough?
Most simple banners are just notices; they don’t actually stop tracking scripts from loading before a user consents, which is the key legal requirement. A true Consent Management Platform, like the one we install, actively blocks all non-essential scripts until your visitor gives explicit permission, provides granular choices, and keeps an audit trail for proof of compliance.
How does it work?
The system we install actively scans your website to detect all cookies and tracking scripts. It then automatically blocks them from running until a visitor gives their explicit consent. Based on the user’s choice, the system enables only the approved scripts, ensuring you meet legal requirements like ‘prior consent’ while securely logging their decision for your records.
Do I really need a cookie consent system?
Yes, if your website has visitors from regions with modern privacy laws (like the EU, UK, or California), a proper consent system is a legal requirement. These laws apply based on your visitor’s location, not your business’s. They require you to get a user’s permission *before* you load any non-essential tracking scripts, making a consent tool essential for compliance.
What software do you use?
We exclusively use the Complianz plugin. After extensive testing, we have found it to be the most robust and reliable solution for WordPress & Shopify. It is an IAB Europe TCF Certified Consent Management Platform (CMP), run by a team of legal professionals and recommended by privacy officers and web professionals, ensuring we are building your compliance on a best-in-class foundation.
How does this affect my marketing pixels and analytics?
This is one of the most important functions of a consent management system. Our setup ensures your tracking scripts—like Google Analytics, Google Ads, or the Meta (Facebook) Pixel—are handled correctly based on user consent. The system automatically identifies these scripts and holds them back from loading. Only after a visitor explicitly consents to the relevant cookie category (e.g., “Marketing” or “Statistics”) will the corresponding script be activated.
This process is essential for compliance. Furthermore, we implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows your site to communicate consent choices to Google’s services. This enables privacy-safe, aggregated data modeling to help you recover some analytical insights from users who decline cookies, ensuring you get the most accurate data possible while respecting user privacy.
Will this slow down my website?
That’s a valid concern, as many third-party scripts can impact site performance. We specifically chose Complianz because it is engineered for performance. The plugin is lightweight and loads asynchronously, meaning it doesn’t block the rest of your page from rendering while it loads. Our expert configuration ensures it’s implemented in the most efficient way possible. While any script adds a minuscule amount of load time, this system is optimized to have a negligible impact on your site’s speed and Core Web Vitals, unlike many free or poorly configured alternatives.
What happens when new privacy laws are passed or existing ones change?
This is a key benefit of our service. The underlying software is constantly updated by a team of legal and tech experts to keep pace with new global regulations. We then manage the implementation of these updates on your website, ensuring your consent tool remains compliant without you having to track complex legal changes yourself.
What happens if I leave your service in the future?
No problem at all. The system is yours. You would simply need to purchase your own license for the software to keep it running and then manage all checks and updates yourself.
