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 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.
