Technical GDPR & Cookie Compliance Audit for Websites
CookieGDPR helps website owners understand how cookies, tracking scripts and consent mechanisms behave in practice, from a technical perspective, based on European data protection requirements.
Why cookie and GDPR compliance matters
Under European data protection rules, websites are required to inform users and obtain valid consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies or running certain scripts. This includes analytics, marketing, third-party embeds and other technologies that may process personal data.
In recent years, enforcement actions across the EU have increasingly focused on technical implementation, not just legal text. Authorities evaluate what actually happens in the browser when a user visits a website.
Cookie compliance vs GDPR compliance
Cookie compliance
Focuses on how cookies and similar storage technologies are set, whether they are triggered before consent, and how consent choices are respected.
GDPR technical compliance
Covers a broader set of behaviors, including third-party scripts, data flows, policy presence, and whether processing aligns with declared purposes and consent.
What changed recently
EU regulators have clarified and reinforced expectations around consent validity, transparency, and technical enforcement, particularly regarding pre-consent data access and third-party services.
Several supervisory authorities have issued updated guidance and penalties related to cookie banners, analytics usage and embedded services, emphasizing evidence-based technical assessment.
