For website owners & DPOs
Three privacy laws.
One pixel.
Zero guesswork.
GDPR consent, the ePrivacy cookie rules, and the EU AI Act don't arrive as one job — but they land on the same website. ConsentPixel handles all three from a single script, blocks every non-essential tracker until your visitor opts in, and keeps a tamper-proof, timestamped consent log your DPO can hand a regulator without flinching.

Why this changed in 2026
Regulators stopped reading policies. They started using your site.
The era of "we have a cookie banner, we're fine" is over. Supervisory authorities across the EU and UK now open a browser in incognito mode and watch what loads before anyone clicks accept. If a tracker fires on page load, that's a pre-consent violation — no matter what your banner says. This is exactly the failure mode ConsentPixel is built to remove.
The banner isn't the point anymore
The CNIL made it explicit: a withdrawal that's recorded but doesn't actually stop the cookies is still a violation. Regulators test whether "Reject All" is as easy as "Accept All", and whether tags truly hold until consent. Design theatre no longer passes.
You don't have to be a household name
Privacy group noyb filed 800+ cookie complaints in 2025 with a 74% enforcement-action success rate. The Dutch DPA warns hundreds of ordinary businesses a year. SME fines routinely land in the €10,000–€100,000 range — not headline millions, but ruinous for a small operator.
GDPR + ePrivacy + AI Act converge
You already owe GDPR consent and ePrivacy cookie rules. From 2 August 2026, EU AI Act Article 50 adds an AI-disclosure duty on top. Most tools make you buy and wire up three things. The sane answer is one mechanism that satisfies all three at the point the visitor already sees.
What your DPO actually needs
Not another banner. A defensible record.
When a data protection authority asks a question, they don't want to see your cookie banner — they've already seen it. They want proof: which visitor consented to what, on which version of your banner, at which timestamp, and evidence the trackers genuinely stayed off until that moment.
That's the difference between a cosmetic consent tool and a compliance system. ConsentPixel was built for the second job — because a trust brand that couldn't survive its own audit would be a contradiction.
- Prior blocking, not just prior notice. Non-essential tags are held server-side until opt-in — the ePrivacy "prior consent" standard, enforced technically.
- Immutable consent log. Every record is timestamped and tamper-proof. Export the full consent state, not a bare yes/no.
- Versioned banners. If a DPA asks what disclosure was live on a given date, the answer is on record — Version 1, 2, 3…
- Withdrawal that works. Opt-out actually stops the cookies, satisfying the CNIL's post-withdrawal standard — not just a logged preference.
- Symmetrical choice. "Reject All" carries equal weight to "Accept All" on the first layer — no dark patterns to explain away.
One pixel · three obligations
Everything an EU website owes — covered in one place
You don't buy a GDPR tool, an ePrivacy tool, and an AI Act tool. You install one pixel, and each obligation is handled in the mechanism your visitors already interact with.
Lawful consent, logged
Freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous opt-in under Article 7 — captured through a banner with equal-weight choices and no pre-ticked boxes. Every consent is stored as an auditable record.
Cookies held before consent
The ePrivacy "prior consent" rule requires non-essential cookies to wait. ConsentPixel blocks analytics, advertising, and third-party tags on page load and releases them only after opt-in — with Google Consent Mode v2 signalling built in.
AI disclosure, one toggle
If your site uses an AI chatbot, AI search, or AI recommendations, Article 50(1) requires you to tell EU visitors. ConsentPixel surfaces that disclosure inside your existing banner's details panel — no separate pop-up, no developer work.
Built for EU operators
The details that survive an audit
Compliance in 2026 lives in the implementation, not the intent. These are the things a supervisory authority actually checks — built in, not bolted on.
EU visitor geo-targeting
Detects EU/EEA visitors and applies the opt-in consent model automatically — while visitors elsewhere get the model appropriate to their region. One pixel, correct behaviour per jurisdiction.
Tamper-proof consent log
Every consent and withdrawal is recorded immutably with a timestamp and banner version. Export the full log as CSV or JSON whenever your DPO — or a regulator — asks.
Audit-readyPrior blocking of trackers
Non-essential scripts are gated until consent — the ePrivacy standard enforced in code. Open incognito DevTools and watch: nothing non-essential loads before opt-in.
No dark patterns
"Accept All" and "Reject All" carry equal visual weight on the first layer. No hidden reject, no ambiguous wording — the exact design the CNIL and EDPB now demand.
Withdrawal that actually stops cookies
When a visitor withdraws consent, the tags stop — not just the log entry. This is the post-withdrawal standard the CNIL made explicit in its 2025 enforcement.
Privacy-first by our own design
We run Plausible, not Google Analytics. A privacy tool that surveilled its own visitors would fail its own promise — so we don't. The trust badge is cryptographically verified.
Practise what we sellWorks on every platform
WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, WooCommerce, and any site that can add a script tag. One snippet in the <head> and consent is live across every page.
EU AI Act Article 50 ready
AI-feature disclosure surfaces in your banner's details panel from a single portal toggle — no second modal, versioned for your records. Live today, ahead of the 2 August deadline.
EU data residency
Keep consent data within the EU. Ask us about EU-region hosting for organisations with data-residency requirements or public-sector procurement rules.
On requestFrom exposed to compliant
Live on your site in an afternoon
No procurement cycle, no developer sprint. Four steps from a free scan to a defensible consent layer.
Scan your site free — see what's firing
Run the free scanner on your domain. In ten seconds you get a full inventory of the cookies, pixels, and trackers on your site — including the ones firing before consent that a DPA would flag first. No account needed.
Install one pixel
Add a single script tag to your <head> — about five minutes on WordPress, Shopify, or Webflow. That one snippet handles GDPR consent, ePrivacy blocking, and the AI Act disclosure across every page.
Configure and publish your banner
Use the visual builder to match your brand, with equal-weight Accept and Reject built in by default. Publish, and the consent layer goes live immediately. Non-essential trackers are blocked from that moment; the consent log starts filling.
Hand your DPO the audit trail
From then on, every consent is logged immutably with its timestamp and banner version. If a supervisory authority ever asks, the record exports in one click — proof that trackers held and consent was captured lawfully.
How ConsentPixel compares
One pixel vs. the usual stack of tools
Most EU businesses end up with a cookie tool, a separate AI-disclosure plan, and a spreadsheet pretending to be a consent log. Here's the difference.
| What EU compliance needs | ConsentPixel | Typical setup |
|---|---|---|
| Non-essential trackers blocked before consent | ✓ Enforced in code | Often notice-only |
| Immutable, timestamped consent log | ✓ Built in | Limited or manual |
| Withdrawal actually stops the cookies | ✓ Yes | Frequently records only |
| Equal-weight Accept / Reject (no dark patterns) | ✓ Default | Varies |
| EU AI Act Article 50 disclosure | ✓ Live now — one toggle | ✗ Roadmap / separate |
| GDPR + ePrivacy + AI Act in one pixel | ✓ Unified | ✗ Separate tools |
| Vendor uses privacy-first analytics itself | ✓ Plausible, not GA | Usually Google Analytics |
| EU data residency option | ✓ On request | Higher tiers only |

Why EU operators switch
Compliance you can actually stand behind
"Our DPO's first question was 'can we produce the consent record on demand?' With our old banner the honest answer was no. Now it exports in one click, timestamped and versioned. That alone justified the switch."
"I was paying €340/month for ten Cookiebot domains. They doubled my price with one email. I moved to ConsentPixel, kept the same compliance standard, and cut the bill by more than half — with the AI Act disclosure included."
"The thing that sold me was that they don't run Google Analytics on their own site. A privacy vendor that tracks you is a red flag. This one practises what it sells — and the reject button carries the same weight as accept, out of the box."
EU compliance questions
What EU owners and DPOs ask first
Does ConsentPixel actually block trackers before consent, or just show a banner?
We're a small business, not a tech giant. Are we really at risk?
How is this different from Cookiebot, OneTrust, or the CMP I already have?
Does the EU AI Act Article 50 requirement apply to my website?
Can I produce a consent record if a supervisory authority investigates?
Does withdrawal of consent actually stop the cookies?
Can we keep our consent data inside the EU?
How long does it take to get compliant?
