Analytics that waits to be asked
Group websites now load analytics only after a visitor accepts, with declining as easy as accepting and a way to change the choice on every page.
What I tried
Measuring how sites are used matters. The law also requires consent before analytics cookies are set.
Why I chose differently
I chose the strictest reading: rather than loading the tag and asking it to behave, nothing is requested from the analytics provider at all until a visitor says yes.
What I chose
One small plugin governs every analytics tag on a site. It sets consent to denied before any tag runs, holds the tag back, shows equally weighted buttons to accept or decline and keeps a permanent cookie settings link. Each site's cookie policy is generated to match exactly what is set.
The principle
Consent is a gate, not a setting.
