Your cookie banner might not be stopping your ad pixels.

On a lot of small business sites, the Meta Pixel, Google tags and session recording tools start sending data the moment the page opens, before a visitor clicks anything. We find those tags, put them behind real consent, and give you a dated before and after report.

Why this matters right now

Since fall 2025, many businesses have received demand letters under the California Invasion of Privacy Act that point at website tracking tools. A banner alone does not change what your site sends if the scripts load first.

We do technical work only. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. If you have received a letter, talk to a lawyer about the letter itself. We handle the site.

"A cookie banner does not reduce risk if the relevant scripts load and transmit information before the visitor has an opportunity to make a choice."Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, client alert, June 29, 2026 (source)
"They threaten statutory damages of up to $5,000 per violation."Tucker Ellis LLP, July 2026 (source)

How it works

  1. Scan. We open your homepage in a fresh browser set to California time and language, with no clicks, and record every request to an ad or analytics company. Then we do it again after clicking Reject, and again after Accept.
  2. Report. You get a dated report listing which tags fired, when, and before or after which choice, with screenshots and the raw network logs. The report has a SHA-256 fingerprint so anyone can check it was not changed later.
  3. Fix. With collaborator or staff access you grant us (never a password over email or chat), we gate each tag behind consent. That usually means Google Tag Manager consent settings or your existing consent tool, moving hardcoded pixels into it, and holding chat and session recording widgets until a visitor agrees. We save a copy of your current setup first.
  4. Proof. We scan again and send the before and after reports side by side, so you and your lawyer can see what changed and when.

FAQ

Will this stop me from getting a letter?
No one can promise that. What we can do is make your site stop sending tracking data before a visitor agrees, and give you dated proof of the before and after.

Is this legal advice?
No. We are not lawyers. This is technical work on your website. Please talk to a lawyer about any letter or claim.

Will my ads stop working?
Visitors who accept will be tracked as before. Visitors who reject or never choose will not be. Your ad platform may report fewer conversions from people who reject.

What access do you need?
Collaborator or staff access to your site platform and your tag manager, set up by you. We never ask for passwords by email or chat.

Do you scan pages other than the homepage?
The free scan covers the homepage. Paid work also covers your search, contact and checkout pages.
