What the rules say

Non-essential cookies require consent before they're set or read.
Audience-measurement and advertising cookies aren't automatically essential.
Refusing must be as easy as accepting — the CNPD illustrates 'accept' and 'refuse' on the first layer.
Consent needs an affirmative action; silence or continued browsing isn't enough.

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.
Ask again after 12 months. Set "Remember the choice for" in the customizer to 360 days or less.
Languages. The banner ships in French, German. Luxembourgish 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.
