Consent platform
Is Borlabs Cookie GDPR compliant?
Borlabs Cookie may run before the visitor has agreed, because it does not store or read anything on the device that goes beyond what is strictly necessary. It still belongs in your privacy policy.

What does Borlabs Cookie do?
A German WordPress consent plugin that runs entirely on your own server, so the banner itself involves no third party and no transfer at all. It also blocks embedded content until the visitor agrees.
Does Borlabs Cookie need consent?
No consent is needed for Borlabs Cookie on its own, because it does not store or read anything on the device beyond what is strictly necessary. That is not a free pass: it must still be named in your privacy policy, and the request itself still reveals the visitor's IP address to the provider.
Does Borlabs Cookie send data outside the EEA?
No. Borlabs Cookie keeps processing inside the EEA, which removes the third-country question entirely. You still have to name it as a recipient in your privacy policy.
How do we detect Borlabs Cookie?
We load your page in a real browser as a first-time visitor who clicks nothing, then look at what it contacted. Borlabs Cookie is recognised by requests to borlabs.io, and we report whether it merely loaded or actually sent data, and whether it set a cookie before any choice was made.
