parimatch.now 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.
145 trackers detected loading before user consent:
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 5(1)(a), ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3), and CJEU Planet49 (C-673/17). Browser fingerprinting collects device-level identifiers (screen resolution, fonts, plugins) that constitute personal data. The Planet49 ruling confirmed that consent under the ePrivacy Directive applies to "information" stored on or accessed from a user's device — not just cookies. Fingerprinting requires consent even without setting cookies.
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a), ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3), and CNIL Decision SAN-2022-023. Tag managers that actively load tracking scripts before consent enable personal data processing without a legal basis. The CNIL fined Google €150 million in 2022 partly because its tag manager loaded tracking before users could refuse cookies.
This GDPR compliance scan of parimatch.now 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)(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), ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3), and CJEU Planet49 (C-673/17). Advertising trackers profile visitors for targeted ads. The CJEU's Planet49 ruling (1 October 2019) confirmed that consent must be active and informed — pre-ticked boxes or implied consent are insufficient. This applies to all cookies and tracking mechanisms used for advertising purposes.

Legal basis: This violates ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) and GDPR Article 6(1)(a).
