AI Analysis

The Rightmove website's cookie consent and privacy compliance audit resulted in a score of 73/100, with 25 checks passed and 4 failed. Key issues include the need for meaningful text within the cookie banner to explain cookie usage, AI analysis indicating potential dark patterns in the banner design, and non-compliance with GDPR requirements due to unclear language and design elements. Six checks were also skipped due to unmet conditions.
