This GDPR compliance scan of puls24.at 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 CJEU Planet49 (C-673/17). Third-party storage access (localStorage, sessionStorage) on external domains constitutes accessing device information without user consent. The Planet49 ruling confirmed that the ePrivacy Directive's consent requirement applies to all information stored on or accessed from a user's terminal equipment.
