AI Analysis
Your site is firing tracking requests from Facebook before offering any consent choice—the audit detected 2 tracker requests firing before consent was presented. You do have a reject button in place, but the critical issue is that non-essential cookies (specifically 2 Matomo tracking cookies) are still being set and remain active even after a user clicks reject, which means the consent mechanism isn't properly blocking trackers when users refuse. The cookie banner also lacks clear explanations of what each cookie does, which is required under the rules governing electronic marketing. Right now, visitors cannot actually prevent tracking on your site even when they try to opt out.
