No consent platform recognised
The site may use a custom or unrecognised banner. This is informational and does not affect the score.

These are fonts, embeds, and other resources loaded from external servers. While they serve a legitimate purpose, they share your visitors' IP addresses with third parties before consent.
Tracking cookies are used to identify and follow users across websites. Under GDPR, these require explicit consent before being set, but on this website they are active immediately.

garagedoorrepairstcatharines.ca has a GDPR compliance score of 55/100.
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.
41 trackers detected loading before user consent:
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1) and LG München I (Case 3 O 17493/20). Loading a resource from a third-party server sends the visitor's IP address to that server. The Munich Regional Court held in January 2022 that a dynamic IP address is personal data for the website operator, so passing it on needs a legal basis, and legitimate interest did not cover a resource the site could have hosted itself.
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 garagedoorrepairstcatharines.ca 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.
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1) and LG München I (Case 3 O 17493/20, 20 January 2022). Loading fonts from an external server sends the visitor's IP address to that server. On 20 January 2022 the Munich Regional Court held that a dynamic IP address is personal data for the website operator, and that passing it to Google without consent could not be justified by legitimate interest, because the fonts could be self-hosted. It ordered the operator to stop and to pay the claimant €100 in damages. Self-hosting fonts avoids the issue.
