Cookie Consent Banner Presence Check
A cookie consent banner is mandatory to inform visitors and obtain their agreement. Check its presence and learn how to configure it correctly.
What this test checks
This test checks whether your site displays a cookie consent banner. Under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive, any site using non‑essential cookies must inform users and obtain explicit consent before placing such cookies. The absence of a banner exposes you to fines and harms user trust.
Our recommendation
Add a cookie consent banner to your site. It must appear on first visit and allow users to accept or refuse cookies. Offer customisation of preferences (cookie categories). Use solutions like Cookiebot, Osano, or develop your own banner with consent stored in a database. Ensure the banner is accessible and complies with accessibility standards (WCAG).
