Consent Record Audit

Issues detected

Consent record stored after interaction

GDPR Art. 7(1)

No consent record written — cannot prove consent was given

No CMP consent cookie or localStorage entry was found after the consent interaction. GDPR requires controllers to demonstrate consent was given.

Consent withdrawal mechanism accessible

GDPR Art. 7(3)

Cookie settings link / floating button found

Why this matters

Under GDPR Article 7, controllers must be able to demonstrate that consent was given (Art. 7(1)) and ensure users can withdraw consent at any time, as easily as giving it (Art. 7(3)). Sites with no consent record or no withdrawal mechanism cannot legally rely on consent as a lawful basis.
