What the rules say
- Analytics, visitor-counting and advertising trackers require consent.
- Accepting and rejecting must take the same number of actions.
- Continued browsing is not consent.
- Consent is given per purpose; optional choices must not be pre-selected.
- Cookie walls that block access unless visitors accept all trackers are rejected.
- Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.
How PrivacyPill handles this
- Nothing optional runs before a choice. Google tags start with Consent Mode v2 set to denied; other scripts marked with data-pp-category wait until their category is allowed.
- Equal first-layer buttons. "Accept all" and "Reject non-essential" sit side by side with the same weight, and a settings button lets visitors withdraw consent at any time.
- Consent per purpose. Analytics, marketing and functional cookies can be allowed separately in the preferences panel.
- Languages. Greek isn't built in yet — rewrite the English texts in the customizer to show your own translation.
- Proof of consent. Every choice is logged pseudonymously with the banner version, exportable as CSV.
