Cookie wall

Varför det här är viktigt

EDPB ser cookie walls som ogiltiga för samtycke till icke-nödvändig behandling eftersom användaren tvingas acceptera spårning för att få åtkomst till innehållet.

Så verifierar du manuellt

1. Open the site without interacting with the banner and try to access core content.
2. Click Reject and check whether content remains blocked or blurred.
3. Inspect frontend logic for overlays, scroll locks, or disabled content containers.

Typiska orsaker

• Banner script ties content visibility to Accept instead of any user decision.
• Theme or SPA route guards wait for opt-in before rendering content.
• Optional services are mixed with baseline site functionality.

Åtgärd i GTM

1. Remove logic that blocks content until marketing or analytics consent is accepted.
2. Keep the banner visible while allowing access with only essential cookies.
3. Trigger non-essential tags only after explicit opt-in.

Åtgärd i WordPress eller CMP-pluginer

1. Disable plugin options that lock content behind consent.
2. Ensure pages remain accessible after Reject or Close actions.
3. Retain consent records without gating core content access.

Generell utvecklaråtgärd

1. Allow baseline site functionality regardless of non-essential cookie choice.
2. Use consent only as a switch for optional processing.
3. If relying on legitimate interest for essential cookies, document scope and avoid blending with marketing controls.

Så bekräftar du att åtgärden fungerar

• Reject optional cookies and confirm content remains visible and usable.
• Confirm only optional processing is disabled, not the page itself.
• Run a fresh scan and verify the cookie-wall finding disappears.
