Common mistakes

  • 1Deploying without consent because it is perceived as a first-party analytics tool, when it still sets cookies and transmits data to Siteimprove servers
  • 2Not including Siteimprove in the cookie declaration despite it setting persistent tracking cookies
  • 3Assuming the accessibility monitoring features do not require consent when the analytics script collects behavioural data alongside accessibility metrics

Compliance considerations

Loads scripts from siteimproveanalytics.io (or legacy siteimproveanalytics.com domain) and transmits page view and interaction data to Siteimprove servers.

Consent: Analytics consent required under ePrivacy Art 5(3) as the script sets cookies and collects behavioural data beyond what is strictly necessary for providing the website.

Data residency: Siteimprove is headquartered in Denmark and processes data within the EU, avoiding the complexities of international data transfers.

Accessibility monitoring: While the accessibility features serve a legitimate interest, the analytics component bundled with them still requires consent for cookie-based tracking.
