No consent platform recognised
The site may use a custom or unrecognised banner. This is informational and does not affect the score.
A tag manager loading tracking scripts before the visitor has given consent.
Collects usage statistics (pages visited, clicks, session duration) without consent.
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.
Low-severity concerns: external fonts, empty tag containers, WebSocket connections, and third-party storage.

safeguard-va.com has a GDPR compliance score of 45/100.
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.
29 trackers detected loading before user consent:
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 44 and LG München I (Case 3 O 17493/20, 20 January 2022). Loading fonts from external servers transmits visitor IP addresses to third-party servers, often outside the EU. The Munich Regional Court ruled on 20 January 2022 that embedding Google Fonts without consent violates GDPR, awarding €100 in damages per visitor. Self-hosting fonts eliminates this violation entirely.
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 44, Article 46, and LG München I (Case 3 O 17493/20). Exposing visitor IP addresses to third-party servers — especially outside the EU/EEA — without consent or adequate transfer safeguards violates GDPR's data transfer provisions. The Munich Regional Court confirmed that IP addresses constitute personal data and their transfer requires a legal basis.
This GDPR compliance scan of safeguard-va.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 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.
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 44, Article 46, and LG München I (Case 3 O 17493/20). Exposing visitor IP addresses to third-party servers — especially outside the EU/EEA — without consent or adequate transfer safeguards violates GDPR's data transfer provisions. The Munich Regional Court confirmed that IP addresses constitute personal data and their transfer requires a legal basis.
