What the rules say

  • Non-essential storage or access requires consent you can demonstrate.
  • If the first layer offers 'accept all', it must also offer a way to refuse.
  • Analytics and marketing cookies must not be set before consent.
  • The rules cover fingerprinting and web beacons, not just cookies.
  • They apply to first-party and third-party cookies alike.

Enforcement examples

  • 2025

    A website operator was fined €750 for setting marketing and analytics cookies before visitors could consent.

  • 2023

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. Slovak 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.
