apfilter.com.au has a GDPR compliance score of 65/100.
A score between 50 and 79 indicates moderate GDPR compliance issues. Analytics trackers or advertising scripts are likely loading before user consent, which may result in regulatory attention.
2 trackers detected loading before user consent:
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3). Analytics trackers read information from the visitor's device and send it to the analytics provider together with the visitor's IP address, which can be personal data under the GDPR. The ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) requires consent before that happens unless it is strictly necessary for a service the visitor asked for. Analytics generally does not qualify; only narrowly configured audience measurement can, under national guidance such as the CNIL's.

This GDPR compliance scan of apfilter.com.au was performed by GDPR Scanner, a pre-consent privacy scanning tool. The scan captures all trackers, cookies, and third-party scripts that load before a user clicks any consent button.
Under GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), websites must obtain explicit consent before processing personal data. Any tracker or cookie that fires before consent is a potential violation of EU privacy law.
A privacy score of 100/100 means the website loads zero trackers and zero tracking cookies before the user gives consent. This is the standard required by GDPR Article 5(1)(a) and Article 7.
Essential cookies (session management, security tokens) and first-party functional cookies do not incur penalties, as they are covered by the legitimate interest legal basis. See an example: playhth.com scores 100/100.
