ComplianceReal compliance, not a cookie banner

Your cookie plugin isn’t compliance. It’s a false sense of security.

GDPR fines have surpassed €2.1 billion, and enforcement increasingly targets small and mid-sized sites — not just enterprises. Real compliance needs a data audit, a properly configured consent platform, a privacy policy that reflects your actual data flows, and a way to handle subject rights requests. We build all of it.

total GDPR fines issued by European regulators — and climbing

Most small businesses install a cookie banner and call it done. That’s not compliance.

The European Accessibility Act required EU-facing compliance by June 28, 2025. CCPA/CPRA enforcement keeps expanding — as of January 2026, the definition of “sensitive personal information” widened, and sites must visibly confirm a visitor’s opt-out signal was processed. Competitors in this space are software vendors (Cookiebot, CookieYes). We’re the agency that does the implementation and advises on the right approach.

How it works

Map the data, control the consent, prove it.

Compliance is advisory work that carries legal weight. We treat it that way.

01

Map data flows

We inventory every script, pixel, and plugin — what personal data each collects, where it’s sent, and which legal basis applies. You can’t comply with what you haven’t mapped.

02

Block before consent

We configure a real consent management platform so trackers don’t fire until the visitor agrees — the part cookie-banner plugins almost always get wrong.

03

Wire the rights workflows

Google Consent Mode v2, CCPA “Do Not Sell,” and a subject access request form that routes to a real workflow — not a dead inbox.

04

Document everything

Updated privacy and cookie policies that reflect your actual data flows, a retention schedule, and a DPA template — the paper trail regulators ask for.

FAQ — GDPR / Privacy Compliance

What businesses ask before the audit.

I have a cookie banner already. Isn’t that enough?
Usually not. Most banner plugins display a notice but still let analytics and ad pixels fire before the visitor consents — which is the exact violation regulators penalize. Real compliance blocks non-essential scripts until opt-in and records the consent. We configure that properly.
Do GDPR and CCPA even apply to me?
If you have visitors or customers in the EU, you’re in GDPR scope. If you do business with California residents above certain thresholds, CCPA/CPRA applies. Most online businesses are touched by at least one. The audit tells you exactly which regimes apply and what each requires.
Are you lawyers?
No — we’re the technical implementation team. We map your data, configure consent, and produce documentation based on well-established frameworks. For bespoke legal interpretation we’ll happily work alongside your counsel, and our documentation gives them a clean starting point.
Will the consent banner hurt my analytics?
Configured correctly with Google Consent Mode v2, you keep modeled conversions and aggregate insight even when users decline cookies — so you stay compliant without going blind. Done wrong, it can wreck your data; that’s exactly why it’s worth doing properly.
What about my WooCommerce checkout data?
Stores collect payment, shipping, and account data that falls squarely under these laws. We make sure checkout data handling, retention, and third-party processors (payment, shipping, email) are all accounted for. It pairs naturally with our WooCommerce Care plan.
