Choose your symptom

The Meta Pixel fires before consent A facebook.com/tr request on page load, before the banner is answered — the most common pre-consent tracker we find. Google Analytics loads before consent gtag.js loads and g/collect beacons fire on first paint — usually a missing Consent Mode default. Hotjar records before consent hotjar.com requests and _hjSession cookies on first paint — the recorder starts before anyone opts in. The TikTok Pixel fires before consent analytics.tiktok.com events on page load — often injected by a store channel app nobody gated. Google Ads remarketing fires before consent doubleclick.net / googleadservices.com requests on load — remarketing audiences filling before opt-in. Your chat widget loads before consent The widget opens a WebSocket and sets identity cookies on load — before anyone opens the chat. Session replay and CIPA risk Recorders streaming clicks, scrolls, and keystrokes to a vendor — the core pattern of the wiretap-claim wave. Your consent banner isn't blocking trackers The banner shows — and the network tab shows trackers firing anyway. The most common failure we see. Your tracking changed after the audit The audit said clean — now there are new third-party domains in the network tab. Here's how drift happens.
