Common mistakes
- 1Relying solely on automatic scanning without manually verifying tag categorisation
- 2Not updating the script after site redesigns, leaving new tags unblocked
- 3Assuming Cookiebot handles server-side tags - it only controls client-side execution
Compliance considerations
Operates as a client-side consent gate. Must be loaded as the first script on the page to effectively block other tags.
Configuration: Verify that automatic scans correctly identify all tags and that consent categories align with your data processing register.
As a CMP, Cookiebot's own cookies are typically classified as strictly necessary and do not require consent.
