link-banner.com has a GDPR compliance score of 0/100.
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.
22 trackers detected loading before user consent:
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a), ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3), and Austrian DSB Decision (DSB-D155.027, 2022). Analytics trackers process personal data such as IP addresses and browsing behaviour. The Austrian Data Protection Authority ruled in January 2022 that Google Analytics use without consent violates GDPR, as data is transferred to the US without adequate safeguards. The ePrivacy Directive requires prior consent for accessing information on a user's device unless strictly necessary.
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a), Article 9 (where sensitive data is captured), and EDPB Guidelines 2/2019. Session recording captures detailed user interactions including keystrokes, mouse movements, and form inputs. The EDPB has clarified that such invasive processing cannot rely on legitimate interest and requires explicit, informed consent. If health or financial data is inadvertently captured, Article 9 special category protections apply.
This GDPR compliance scan of link-banner.com 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 ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) and GDPR Article 6(1)(a). WebSocket connections to third-party servers transmit visitor data (including IP addresses) in real time without explicit consent. Persistent WebSocket connections are particularly invasive as they maintain continuous data channels to external servers.
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a), Article 9 (where sensitive data is captured), and EDPB Guidelines 2/2019. Session recording captures detailed user interactions including keystrokes, mouse movements, and form inputs. The EDPB has clarified that such invasive processing cannot rely on legitimate interest and requires explicit, informed consent. If health or financial data is inadvertently captured, Article 9 special category protections apply.
