Only Privacy Score 100 means full compliance. These violations mean that before you could even click the Cookie Consent banner, this website already collected your personal data and shared it with third parties. Learn why this matters (our blog) →
Who is responsible? The website owner is solely responsible for these violations and in general often benefits monetarily (directly or indirectly) from collecting and sharing your data without your consent.
No consent platform recognised
The site may use a custom or unrecognised banner. This is informational and does not affect the score.

wave.de has a GDPR compliance score of 90/100.
A score above 80 indicates minor issues such as non-essential fonts loaded from external servers or low-risk first-party cookies. The website has some room for improvement but avoids severe violations.
2 trackers detected loading before user consent:
Legal basis: This violates GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3). Analytics trackers read information from the visitor's device and send it to the analytics provider together with the visitor's IP address, which can be personal data under the GDPR. The ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3)) requires consent before that happens unless it is strictly necessary for a service the visitor asked for. Analytics generally does not qualify; only narrowly configured audience measurement can, under national guidance such as the CNIL's.
No tracking cookies set before consent were counted as violations.
wave.de has minor GDPR compliance issues, with 1 violation detected. Items such as external fonts, cookieless Google Consent Mode pings or unrecognised cookies loaded before consent reduced the score.
Under GDPR, even minor violations can attract regulatory attention, particularly in jurisdictions with active data protection authorities such as France (CNIL), Ireland (DPC), and Austria (DSB). Addressing these issues proactively reduces legal risk.
This GDPR compliance scan of wave.de 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.
The ePrivacy Directive requires consent for all non-essential device access. Even low-severity items like external fonts transfer visitor IP addresses to third-party servers without consent.
wave.de scores 90/100 with 1 violation(s) detected. Trackers or cookies were found loading before user consent.
Our scan detected 2 tracker(s) loading before consent, including Matomo (Self-Hosted).
wave.de has a GDPR compliance score of 90/100 as of 21 October 2026. A score of 100 means no trackers or cookies that require consent were detected before consent. wave.de currently has 1 violation(s) affecting its score.
wave.de should implement a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that blocks all non-essential trackers and cookies until the visitor gives explicit consent. This includes configuring tag managers like Google Tag Manager to use consent-aware triggers, self-hosting external fonts, and auditing all third-party scripts. After making changes, re-scan with GDPR Scanner to check the result.
