AI Analysis
The audit found 2 accessibility violations, including 1 critical issue, which may affect how users interact with your site. Two cookies were set before users could give consent, which may involve tracking or personalization that isn’t yet approved. While your cookie banner allows users to reject cookies, the audit also found that some tracking scripts appear to be active without explicit consent, suggesting a gap between the banner’s functionality and how tracking is managed on the site. This could mean users are being tracked before they’ve had a chance to opt out.
