Review your cookie setup before banner wording and tracking drift apart

It is commonly useful for businesses running websites that use analytics, advertising tags, retargeting pixels, embedded third-party tools or older consent banners that have not been reviewed in some time. It can also be helpful before a site relaunch or after adding new plugins, apps or marketing tools. Privacy wording works best when it is matched to your real collection, use, storage and disclosure practices, so this is particularly relevant where your website collects data through several tools and the banner or privacy wording may no longer reflect what is actually happening behind the scenes.

Common issues include cookies or similar technologies loading before consent is captured, banners that do not clearly separate choices, categories that are too vague, and privacy or cookie wording that does not match the tools running on the site. Marketing and analytics tools are frequent problem areas because they are often added over time by different teams or providers. A website can look polished on the surface while still having legal gaps underneath. That is why the audit looks at the setup as a whole rather than treating the banner as the only issue.

The audit usually includes a legal review of your website's cookie use, consent banner and related privacy wording, together with an assessment of the main risk points that appear from that setup. We then provide a written report explaining the issues identified and practical recommendations for what to change next. This may include points about marketing cookies, analytics tools, consent flows and wording mismatches. It is a legal review service rather than a technical rebuild, so the output is advice and recommendations rather than direct changes to your website or consent platform.

No. This service covers the legal audit and written recommendations, not the technical implementation work needed to change scripts, adjust a consent management platform or reconfigure how cookies are deployed. It also does not include security remediation. If the audit shows that your cookie policy or privacy wording should be updated, we can discuss separate drafting support for those documents. Many businesses use the audit first to identify the legal issues, then ask their internal web team or external developer to implement the technical changes.

No. The fixed-fee work is intended to improve clarity and reduce avoidable gaps, not to replace broader operational compliance work. Cookie compliance depends on the facts, including what technologies are active, when they load, how consent is obtained and how your business collects, uses and shares information through the site. A legal audit can identify gaps and recommend improvements, but it cannot control future website changes, third-party tools or how recommendations are implemented. It is best understood as a practical legal review with action points, not a promise of a particular regulatory outcome.
