Why it matters. A consent banner is required in the EU when the site sets non-essential cookies. It also covers part of the screen and adds scripts, so it is worth knowing which one runs.

How to fix it.

Make sure the banner blocks tracking scripts until the visitor agrees, and that "Reject" is as easy as "Accept".

Why it matters. EU regulators (CNIL, the Datatilsynet, the EDPB guidance) expect refusing to be as easy as accepting: a "Reject all" or "Only necessary" control on the first layer, not hidden behind "Settings". A banner without it is a dark pattern and, in several countries, a finable one.

How to fix it.

Enable the first-layer reject button in your consent platform (your consent platform: usually a "Show reject all" or "Decline" setting) with the same size and colour weight as accept.
