Implementation checklist

A practical GDPR rollout checklist.

Use this checklist to move from scan results to a maintainable consent workflow.

02

Classify necessary, analytics, marketing, preferences, and unknown scripts

Step 2 keeps the website implementation aligned with evidence, policy, and tag behavior.

03

Block non-essential tags until consent exists

Step 3 keeps the website implementation aligned with evidence, policy, and tag behavior.

04

Link privacy and cookie policies from the banner

05

Record consent choice, timestamp, region, and policy version

Step 5 keeps the website implementation aligned with evidence, policy, and tag behavior.

06

Re-scan after plugins, pixels, or apps change

Step 6 keeps the website implementation aligned with evidence, policy, and tag behavior.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they commit.

Does GDPR require cookie consent for every cookie?

Strictly necessary cookies are handled differently from analytics, advertising, and preference cookies. COKIQ helps classify cookies so teams can apply the right consent behavior.

What proof does a team need?

Useful proof includes timestamp, consent state, category choices, policy version, region, and exportable evidence for review.

Why scan before setup?

Most websites already load analytics, pixels, widgets, and cookies. A scan prevents generic policy copy and reveals what needs blocking or review.

Start with a real cookie scan.
