bl.uk has a GDPR compliance score of 12/100.
A score below 50 indicates serious GDPR compliance failures. Multiple high-severity trackers or advertising scripts load before consent, exposing the website to potential fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover under GDPR Article 83.
11 trackers detected loading before user consent:
Legal basis: This violates ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) and CNIL Decisions SAN-2020-012 and SAN-2025-005. Tag managers that load tracking scripts before the visitor has chosen let those trackers run without consent. The CNIL has fined companies for trackers that ran before consent, including Google (€100 million, December 2020) and SHEIN (€150 million, September 2025), and in March 2025 the Hanover Administrative Court (10 A 5385/22) held that Google Tag Manager itself needs consent under the German law implementing Article 5(3).
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a), ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3), and CJEU Planet49 (C-673/17). Advertising trackers profile visitors for targeted ads, which needs the visitor's consent. The Court of Justice of the EU held in Planet49 (C-673/17, 1 October 2019) that a pre-ticked checkbox is not valid consent: consent requires an active choice by the visitor.
This GDPR compliance scan of bl.uk 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.
