TakesNo

Does your website wait for a visitor’s yes, and respect their no?

TakesNo checks what your site does before any choice, after Accept and after Reject, and lists the fixes.

We click Reject on the cookie banner and record what still loads.

Does my site wait for consent?

We visit like a real person and record each moment: before any choice, after Accept, after Reject. We also compare the banner’s Reject button with its Accept button.

What the demo site did

After Acceptwe did not see a consent update sent to GoogleWorth a look

What should I fix?

Each finding comes with one next step you can forward to your developer, and the public rule we checked it against.

Worth a look

Google Analytics cookies were set after the visitor clicked Reject

What to do: make Google Analytics wait until the visitor says yes. Then check again.

Rule: EU ePrivacy Directive, art. 5(3): storing information on a visitor’s device needs their consent, with narrow exceptions. [S-2, Art. 5(3)]

Did my fix work?

Check again after any change and see what is different. If we could not tell, we say so.
