Tracking tools running without a cookie consent banner

Cookie consent means asking visitors for permission before loading any tracking tools — such as analytics or advertising pixels — that store information about their browsing behaviour. Running trackers without consent breaches privacy law in many countries (including GDPR in Europe and similar laws elsewhere). Fines can reach up to four percent of annual revenue, and regulators are increasingly active in enforcement. Add a cookie consent banner that blocks all non-essential trackers until the visitor accepts. Many free and paid tools handle this automatically and integrate with your existing analytics setup.
