Consent under the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR
Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive requires consent before storing or reading anything on a visitor's device unless it is strictly necessary. Since 2018 that consent has to meet the GDPR standard. The European Data Protection Board's guidelines on consent make two things explicit: scrolling or continuing to browse is not consent, and a cookie wall that blocks the whole site until the visitor accepts tracking is generally not valid consent either.
The cookie banner taskforce
In January 2023 the EDPB published the report of its cookie banner taskforce, set up after hundreds of complaints about banner design. The authorities agreed that a first layer with no reject option is not acceptable to most of them, that pre-ticked boxes are invalid, that button colours and contrast chosen to steer visitors towards Accept are a problem, and that withdrawing consent has to be as easy as giving it. The report is the closest thing to a shared European rulebook for banner design.
When TCF matters
The IAB Transparency and Consent Framework is the consent signalling standard for programmatic advertising. If your site sells ad space through an ad exchange, your consent tool needs to be a registered TCF CMP so the bids carry a valid consent string. If you do not run programmatic ads, which is most small businesses, TCF is irrelevant and a tool without it loses nothing.
Already have a banner? The cookie banner checker tests it on your live site: cookies set before consent, reject parity, script gating.
